Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
Require and resolve global modules in node.js like a boss.
requireg
tries to find modules in global locations which are
not natively supported by the node.js module resolve algorithm.
It support both npm/yarn global packages installation paths.
Supported locations:
requireg
)require()
(unless second parameter is true)$HOME
or %USERPROFILE%
)$ npm install requireg --save[-dev]
$ yarn add requireg
var requireg = require('requireg')
// require a globally installed package
var npm = requireg('npm')
var requireg = require('requireg')
// require a globally installed package and skip local packages
var eslint = requireg('eslint', true)
var modulePath = requireg.resolve('npm')
// returns '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/npm.js'
require('requireg').globalize()
Now it is globally available from any source file
var globalModule = requireg('npm')
requireg
maintains the same behavior as the native require()
.
It will throw an Error
exception if the module was not found
