CoffeeScript  = require './coffee-script'

helpers       = require './helpers'
path          = require 'path'

Load and run a CoffeeScript file for Node, stripping any BOMs.

loadFile = (module, filename) ->
  answer = CoffeeScript._compileFile filename, false
  module._compile answer, filename

If the installed version of Node supports require.extensions, register CoffeeScript as an extension.

if require.extensions
  for ext in CoffeeScript.FILE_EXTENSIONS
    require.extensions[ext] = loadFile

¶

Patch Node’s module loader to be able to handle mult-dot extensions. This is a horrible thing that should not be required. Perhaps, one day, when a truly benevolent dictator comes to rule over the Republik of Node, it won’t be.
```
  Module = require 'module'

  findExtension = (filename) ->
    extensions = path.basename(filename).split '.'
```

Remove the initial dot from dotfiles.

    extensions.shift() if extensions[0] is ''

Start with the longest possible extension and work our way shortwards.

    while extensions.shift()
      curExtension = '.' + extensions.join '.'
      return curExtension if Module._extensions[curExtension]
    '.js'

  Module::load = (filename) ->
    @filename = filename
    @paths = Module._nodeModulePaths path.dirname filename
    extension = findExtension filename
    Module._extensions[extension](this, filename)
    @loaded = true

If we’re on Node, patch child_process.fork so that Coffee scripts are able to fork both CoffeeScript files, and JavaScript files, directly.

if child_process
  {fork} = child_process
  binary = require.resolve '../../bin/coffee'
  child_process.fork = (path, args, options) ->
    if helpers.isCoffee path
      unless Array.isArray args
        options = args or {}
        args = []
      args = [path].concat args
      path = binary
    fork path, args, options
