Middleware

key	arguments	description
isSafe	module, info	This function is called when validating if a module is safe. Two arguments are passed the path/name of the module and some basic info. This function should return true if a module is safe and false if otherwise. If nothing is returned will the function be ignored.
require	none	This function is called when requiring a module. This function can return a custom variable/module. If a module should be wrapped inside of a sandbox could the 'wrap' method inside the scope be used. If nothing is returned is the function ignored.

Events

event	description
error	A fatal error has occured when trying to execute the module. This can be caused because the module tried to require a blacklisted or unsafe module.
