JSAN::Parse::FileDeps - Parse file-level dependencies from JSAN modules

As in Perl, two types of dependencies exist in JSAN. Distribution-level install-time dependencies, and run-time file-level dependencies.

Because JSAN modules aren't explicitly required to provide the file-level dependencies, this package was created to provide a single common module by which to determine what these dependencies are, so that all processes at all stages of the JSAN module lifecycle will have a common understanding of the dependencies that a file has, and provide certainty for the module developer.

The library_deps method finds a list of all the libary dependencies for a given file, where a library is specified in the form "Foo.Bar" (using the pseudo-namespaces common to JSAN).

Returns a list of libraries, or throws an exception on error.

The library_deps method finds a list of all the file dependencies for a given file, where a file is specified in the form "Foo/Bar.js" (that is, relative to the root of the lib path for the modules).

The list is identical to, and is calculated from, the list of libraries returned by library_deps.

Returns a list of local filesytem relative paths, or throws an exception on error.

The find_deps_js method is used to extract the header content from a file, to be searched for dependencies, and potentially written to a module_deps.js file.

Returns the content as a list of lines, or throws an exception on error.

The make_deps_js method takes a JSAN module filename in the form "foo/bar.js" and extracts the dependency header, writing it to "foo/bar_deps.js".

Returns true on success, or throws an exception on error.
