What is which-module?

The which-module npm package is designed to help developers identify the module object for a given request. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to know which module is calling a function or when debugging to understand the module dependency tree. It provides a straightforward API to get the module based on a reference to it.

What are which-module's main functionalities?

Identifying the module for a given reference

This feature allows developers to find out the module object for a specific reference. In the code sample, `which-module` is used to identify the module object for 'some-module' by accessing it through `require.cache` and `require.resolve`. This can be particularly useful for debugging purposes or when implementing custom module loaders or handlers.

const whichModule = require('which-module');
const moduleInfo = whichModule(require.cache[require.resolve('some-module')]);
console.log(moduleInfo);
