Installing:
npm install matching-deps
makes it possible to require matching modules from package.json:
requireMatchingDeps = require('matching-deps');
requireMatchingDeps([/^foobar-.\*/, /^more-stuff.\*/], {dev: true})
or simply
require('matching-deps')([/^foobar-.\*/, /^more-stuff.\*/], {dev: true})
The returned function has the signature:
requireMatchingDeps(match[, opts])
Where match is a RegExp or an array of ReqExps.
The argument opts is an optional object. If opts.dev is truthy
package.devDependencies is used instead of package.dependencies.
