npm install @everymundo/cleanrequire
By using the regular require
function from nodejs the result will be cached and the subsequent requests will not even touch the file again. The value will be returned from the cache. That is awesome for 99.9% of the cases.
But, sometimes, you want to require a file and you want nodejs to read it over and over again. For those cases you can use the cleanrequire library.
const cleanrequire = require('@everymundo/cleanrequire');
let libIwantToReloadEveryTime = cleanrequire('./lib/lib-i-want-to-reload-every-time');
libIwantToReloadEveryTime.doSomething();
libIwantToReloadEveryTime = cleanrequire('./lib/lib-i-want-to-reload-every-time');
libIwantToReloadEveryTime.doSomething();
Let's say you have a file name datetime with the following code
module.exports = new Date().toJSON();
By using the regular require
function, it will only run that code once, no matter how many times you call it.
But when using cleanrequire
function, it will run that code every single time you call it.
