## Overview

### Import Path Extractor

This tool extracts all import and require statements from JavaScript/TypeScript code:

**Supported Import Types:**
- **ES6 Imports**: `import ... from 'path'`
- **TypeScript Type-only Imports**: `import type ... from 'path'`
- **Dynamic Imports**: `import('path')`
- **CommonJS Requires**: `require('path')`
- **Export From**: `export ... from 'path'`

**Path Categories:**
- **Package Imports**: node_modules packages (e.g., 'react', 'lodash')
- **Relative Imports**: Local files (e.g., './utils', '../components')
- **Absolute Imports**: Absolute paths (e.g., '/src/config')

**Features:**
- Line number tracking for each import
- Deduplication of import paths
- Grouping by import type
- Filtering by package/relative paths
- Support for both JavaScript and TypeScript

**Example Usage:**
```javascript
import React from 'react'
import { useState } from 'react'
import type { User } from './types'
import * as lodash from 'lodash'
const utils = require('./utils')
import('./lazyModule').then(module => {})
export { Component } from './Component'
```

**Use Cases:**
- Analyze code dependencies
- Find all imported modules
- Identify external dependencies
- Refactor import statements
- Audit code for unused imports

## Inputs

- **JavaScript/TypeScript Code** (textarea): Paste your JavaScript or TypeScript code here to extract imports...
- **Include Node Modules** (checkbox): Include imports from node_modules (package imports)
- **Include Relative Paths** (checkbox): Include relative file imports (./, ../)
- **Group by Import Type** (checkbox): Group results by import type (ES6, CommonJS, Dynamic, etc.)

## When to use

- When analyzing dependencies in a JavaScript or TypeScript project to understand module relationships.
- To identify all external packages and relative file imports for auditing or documentation purposes.
- During code refactoring to locate and update import paths efficiently.

## How it works

- Paste your JavaScript or TypeScript code into the input field.
- Configure options to include or exclude node modules and relative paths, and choose to group results by import type.
- The tool parses the code, extracts all import and require statements, and tracks line numbers.
- Results are displayed in JSON format, with deduplicated paths and optional grouping for easy analysis.

## Use cases

- Analyzing project dependencies to map module relationships and identify external packages.
- Refactoring code by extracting and updating import paths across multiple files.
- Auditing for unused imports to reduce bundle size and improve code cleanliness.
