Usage

Complete API Documentation.

Here is an example that uses Require Fresh to load the package.json file without caching.

// Import
const {
    requireFresh,
    requireFreshCallback,
    requireFreshPromise,
} = require('requirefresh')

// Require the module freshly synchronously (will throw errors)
try {
    const result = requireFresh('./package.json')
    console.log(result)
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error)
}

// Require the fresh module synchronously via a callback that contains the error and result
requireFreshCallback('./package.json', function (error, result) {
    if (error) {
        console.error(error)
    } else {
        console.log(result)
    }
})

// Require the fresh module synchronously via a promise
requireFreshPromise('./package.json')
    .then((result) => console.log(result))
    .catch((error) => console.error(error))
