Package Exports

language-detect

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (language-detect) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Language Detect

Detect the programming language of any file by checking the file name, file extension, file shebang and falling back to a programming language classifier. For more language information, it should be used in conjunction with language-map.

Installation

npm install language-detect --save

Usage

var detect = require('language-detect');

Asynchronously From a File

detect(__dirname + '/test.js', function (err, language) {
  console.log(err);      //=> null
  console.log(language); //=> "JavaScript"
});

Synchronously From a File

detect.sync(__dirname + '/test.js'); //=> "JavaScript"

From The Filename and Contents

detect.contents(__dirname + '/test.js', 'var test = true;\n'); //=> "JavaScript"

From Only a Filename

detect.filename(__dirname + '/test.js'); //=> "JavaScript"

Check for Shebang

detect.shebang('#!/usr/bin/env node\n...'); //=> "JavaScript"

Run Classification

Uses language-classifier which can only detect a small subset of languages.

detect.classify('.test { color: red; }')

Other Properties

detect.aliases A map of known aliases
detect.interpreters A map of known interpreters
detect.extensions A map of known file extensions
detect.filenames A map of known file names
