Replace sub-module's relative require about aliasify HOT 6 OPEN

(Hit enter too soon)

So if you can solve this with require.resolve(), you could maybe pass in an option to turn that on. Something like:

aliases: {
   "whatwg-url/lib/utf8": {replacement: "utf8-typed", resolve: true}
}

(Maybe you can come up with a better name than resolve for that option. :P)

Sound reasonable?

I was able to get it to work by using the exact require input as the key:

.transform("aliasify", { global:true, aliases:{ "./utf8": "utf8-typed" }})

which is unsafe as any dependency could have such a require argument.

Solving this would likely require the use of require.resolve() and I don't know how that will affect things. If it proves to be impossible, viralify is an option, but kinda hacky as it actually overwrites the package.json file of the specific dependencies.

Dead project?

Well, not a lively project. :) But I get way too many emails from github and unfortunately it's easy for issues from less-lively projects to slip through the cracks.

So, you're trying to make it so when whatwg-url tries to internally import "./lib/utf8" (or some variation on that), you want to replace this with require('utf8-typed')? Tricky.

We do support "options" for the right hand side of aliases. For example:

aliases: {
    "d3": {"relative": "./shims/d3.js"}
}
