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.
npm install language-detect --save
var detect = require('language-detect');detect(__dirname + '/test.js', function (err, language) {
console.log(err); //=> null
console.log(language); //=> "JavaScript"
});detect.sync(__dirname + '/test.js'); //=> "JavaScript"detect.contents(__dirname + '/test.js', 'var test = true;\n'); //=> "JavaScript"detect.filename(__dirname + '/test.js'); //=> "JavaScript"detect.shebang('#!/usr/bin/env node\n...'); //=> "JavaScript"Uses language-classifier which can only detect a small subset of languages.
detect.classify('.test { color: red; }')- 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
