## Install and use

```sh
npm install --save node-hook
```

Before loading desired *.js* files, install hook

```js
var hook = require('node-hook');

function logLoadedFilename(source, filename) {
return 'console.log("' + filename + '");\n' + source;
}
hook.hook('.js', logLoadedFilename);
require('./dummy');
// prints fulle dummy.js filename, runs dummy.js

hook.unhook('.js'); // removes your own transform
```

**remember:** Nodejs caches compiled modules, so if the transform is not
working, you might need to delete the cached entry in `require.cache`,
then call `require(filename)` again to force reload.

You can hook several transformers thanks to the [code](https://github.com/bahmutov/node-hook/pull/2)
submitted by [djulien](https://github.com/djulien)

## Existing transform

You can get the current transform and run any source through it. For example
to see how the current source looks when loaded but before evaluated

```js
const filename = resolve('./call-foo.js')
const transform = Module._extensions['.js']
const fakeModule = {
_compile: source => {
console.log('transformed code')
console.log(source)
}
}
transform(fakeModule, filename)
```
