+# enhanced-resolve
+
+Offers an async require.resolve function. It's highly configurable.
+
+## Features
+
+* plugin system
+* provide a custom filesystem
+* sync and async node.js filesystems included
+
+
+## Getting Started
+### Install
+```sh
+# npm
+npm install enhanced-resolve
+# or Yarn
+yarn add enhanced-resolve
+```
+
+### Creating a Resolver
+The easiest way to create a resolver is to use the `createResolver` function on `ResolveFactory`, along with one of the supplied File System implementations.
+```js
+const {
+ NodeJsInputFileSystem,
+ CachedInputFileSystem,
+ ResolverFactory
+} = require('enhanced-resolve');
+
+// create a resolver
+const myResolver = ResolverFactory.createResolver({
+ // Typical usage will consume the `NodeJsInputFileSystem` + `CachedInputFileSystem`, which wraps the Node.js `fs` wrapper to add resilience + caching.
+ fileSystem: new CachedInputFileSystem(new NodeJsInputFileSystem(), 4000),
+ extensions: ['.js', '.json']
+ /* any other resolver options here. Options/defaults can be seen below */
+});
+
+// resolve a file with the new resolver
+const context = {};
+const resolveContext = {};
+const lookupStartPath = '/Users/webpack/some/root/dir';
+const request = './path/to-look-up.js';
+myResolver.resolve({}, lookupStartPath, request, resolveContext, (err/*Error*/, filepath/*string*/) => {
+ // Do something with the path
+});
+```
+
+For more examples creating different types resolvers (sync/async, context, etc) see `lib/node.js`.
+#### Resolver Options
+| Field | Default | Description |
+| ------------------------ | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| alias | [] | A list of module alias configurations or an object which maps key to value |
+| aliasFields | [] | A list of alias fields in description files |
+| cacheWithContext | true | If unsafe cache is enabled, includes `request.context` in the cache key |
+| descriptionFiles | ["package.json"] | A list of description files to read from |
+| enforceExtension | false | Enforce that a extension from extensions must be used |
+| enforceModuleExtension | false | Enforce that a extension from moduleExtensions must be used |
+| extensions | [".js", ".json", ".node"] | A list of extensions which should be tried for files |
+| mainFields | ["main"] | A list of main fields in description files |
+| mainFiles | ["index"] | A list of main files in directories |
+| modules | ["node_modules"] | A list of directories to resolve modules from, can be absolute path or folder name |
+| unsafeCache | false | Use this cache object to unsafely cache the successful requests |
+| plugins | [] | A list of additional resolve plugins which should be applied |
+| symlinks | true | Whether to resolve symlinks to their symlinked location |
+| cachePredicate | function() { return true }; | A function which decides whether a request should be cached or not. An object is passed to the function with `path` and `request` properties. |
+| moduleExtensions | [] | A list of module extensions which should be tried for modules |
+| resolveToContext | false | Resolve to a context instead of a file |
+| restrictions | [] | A list of resolve restrictions |
+| fileSystem | | The file system which should be used |
+| resolver | undefined | A prepared Resolver to which the plugins are attached |
+
+## Plugins
+Similar to `webpack`, the core of `enhanced-resolve` functionality is implemented as individual plugins that are executed using [`Tapable`](https://github.com/webpack/tapable). These plugins can extend the functionality of the library, adding other ways for files/contexts to be resolved.
+
+A plugin should be a `class` (or its ES5 equivalent) with an `apply` method. The `apply` method will receive a `resolver` instance, that can be used to hook in to the event system.
+
+### Plugin Boilerplate
+```js
+class MyResolverPlugin {
+ constructor(source, target) {
+ this.source = source;
+ this.target = target;
+ }
+
+ apply(resolver) {
+ const target = resolver.ensureHook(this.target);
+ resolver.getHook(this.source).tapAsync("MyResolverPlugin", (request, resolveContext, callback) => {
+ // Any logic you need to create a new `request` can go here
+ resolver.doResolve(target, request, null, resolveContext, callback);
+ });
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Plugins are executed in a pipeline, and register which event they should be executed before/after. In the example above, `source` is the name of the event that starts the pipeline, and `target` is what event this plugin should fire, which is what continues the execution of the pipeline. For an example of how these different plugin events create a chain, see `lib/ResolverFactory.js`, in the `//// pipeline ////` section.
+
+## Tests
+
+``` javascript
+npm test
+```

+
+## Passing options from webpack
+If you are using `webpack`, and you want to pass custom options to `enhanced-resolve`, the options are passed from the `resolve` key of your webpack configuration e.g.:
+
+```
+resolve: {
+ extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx'],
+ modules: ['src', 'node_modules'],
+ plugins: [new DirectoryNamedWebpackPlugin()]
+ ...
+},
+```
