What is lazy-cache?

The lazy-cache npm package is designed to lazily require modules, meaning that the modules are only required when they are actually needed. This can help improve the performance of your application by deferring the loading of modules until they are used.

What are lazy-cache's main functionalities?

Lazy Loading of Modules

This feature allows you to defer the loading of a module until it is actually used in your code. In the example, the 'fs' module is not loaded until the 'readFileSync' method is called.

const lazy = require('lazy-cache')(require);
const fs = lazy('fs');

// fs is not loaded until it is used
fs.readFileSync('path/to/file.txt', 'utf8');

Custom Lazy Loading

You can also use lazy-cache to lazily load your own custom modules. In this example, the './customModule' is not loaded until 'someFunction' is called.

const lazy = require('lazy-cache')(require);
const customModule = lazy('./customModule');

// customModule is not loaded until it is used
customModule.someFunction();
