array-inline

array-inline

Evaluate Node.js module source from a string, buffer, or VM script — the same way require() works, without loading a file.

Uses Node's vm module instead of native eval().

Install

npm install array-inline

Usage

var arrayInline = require('array-inline')
var result = arrayInline(content /*, filename, scope, includeGlobals */)

Argument	Type	Description
content	String | Buffer | vm.Script	Source to evaluate
filename	String	Optional name used in stack traces
scope	Object	Variables provided to the source
includeGlobals	Boolean	Expose Node globals and require (default false)

Examples

var arrayInline = require('array-inline')

var res = arrayInline('var x = 123; exports.x = x')
// => res === { x: 123 }

res = arrayInline('module.exports = function () { return 123 }')
// => res() === 123

res = arrayInline('module.exports = require("events")', true)
// => res === require('events')

res = arrayInline('exports.x = process', true)
// => res.x === process
