Exoform
Exoform takes a module defined in CommonJS style, and recursively transforms it, and its dependencies into asynchronous content-addressed require calls.
This gives you the whole program, and its dependencies, in a content-addressable manner, that you could later require from other programs.
Exoform uses cdump, for now, to store its blobs
Example
Input: test/req/one.js
var a = require('./two.js')
var b = require('./two.js').blorp
var c = require('./two.js').blorp()
var x = { y: { z: {} } }
x.y.z.two = require('./two.js')
console.log(x.y.z.two.blorp())
console.log(a.blorp())
console.log(b())
console.log(c)
exoform test/req/one.js | xargs cdump get
Output:
var __meta
if (typeof arguments !== 'undefined') {
__meta = arguments[0]
} else {
__meta = {
exoform: require('exoform'),
define: function () {},
refs: [] } }
var exoform = __meta.exoform
var exports = __meta.mod
var module = { exports: exports }
;
__meta.exoform.require(__meta.refs, '6aa7e2e45e38d55c765ac44dbd98f5ce09f27c60696b823e70cf547816c38d31', function (a) {

Todo
