## FORMATS

- The builtin formats are:

  - 'commonjs' to convert modules to files using CommonJS require and exports objets

  - 'bundle' to concatenate modules into a single file

  - You may provide a custom formatter, see the source of the builtin ones for details on how this is done.

  ## RESOLVERS

Resolvers resolve import paths to modules. The default resolver will search the include paths provided by \`--include\` arguments and the current working directory. To provide custom resolver logic, pass the path to your resolver module providing a \`resolveModule\` function or class with an instance method with this signature:

\`resolveModule(importedPath:String, fromModule:?Module, container:Container): Module\`.
