# sweetify [![deprecated](http://badges.github.io/stability-badges/dist/deprecated.svg)](http://github.com/badges/stability-badges) #

**This module has been replaced by [@andreypopp](http://github.com/andreypopp)'s implementation, which [you can find here](http://github.com/andreypopp/sweetify).**

A [browserify](http://browserify.org/) transform for

[sweet.js](http://sweetjs.org/), which brings hygienic macros to JavaScript.

## Installation ##

``` bash

npm install sweetify

```

## Usage ##

``` bash

browserify -t sweetify index.sjs

```

### `require.macro(file)` ###

You might want to have to avoid copying and pasting your macros between files,

so included is an unofficial means to `require` them into your script.

Take, for example, `first.sjs`:

``` javascript

// first.sjs

macro first {

  case ($a + $b) => { $a }

}

```

You can use `require.macro` to include its contents in your script.

``` javascript

// index.sjs

require.macro('./first.sjs')

var x = first(1 + 2)

console.log(x)

```

Bundling `index.sjs` will result in output along these lines:

``` javascript

// bundle.js

var x$2 = 1;

console.log(1);

```

`require.macro` uses [browser-resolve](http://ghub.io/browser-resolve) to find

the file too, so you can throw your macros up on NPM if you so please.

Note however that inlining is pretty rudimentary: it literally prepends the

file contents to your script before passing it to sweet.js. Pull requests are

welcome if you find a way to bend the parser to exclude everything but the

macros, or any other improvements you can think of :)
