What is import-from?

The npm package 'import-from' allows you to import modules from a specific path, bypassing the default behavior of Node.js module resolution. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where you need to dynamically choose different versions of a module or when working with plugins that may not be in the node_modules directory of the current project.

What are import-from's main functionalities?

Import module from a specific directory

This feature allows you to import a module by specifying the directory from which the module should be loaded. This is useful for loading modules dynamically based on runtime conditions or configurations.

const importFrom = require('import-from');
const specificModule = importFrom('/path/to/specific/directory', 'module-name');

Silent import attempt

This feature provides a way to attempt to import a module silently without throwing errors if the module does not exist. It is useful for optional dependencies that may or may not be present in a given environment.

const importFrom = require('import-from');
const tryImport = importFrom.silent('/path/to/directory', 'optional-module');
