require-like
Generates require functions that act as if they were operating in a given path.
Install
npm install require-like
Usage
A require function that acts as if it was executed in './lib/bar'
:
var requireLike = ;var myRequire = ;var myFoo = ;var foo = ;;
API
requireLike(path, [uncached])
Returns a require function that acts as if it was operating in the given
path
.
Setting the uncached
parameter to true returns a function that by-passes the
module cache.
Implementation Details
This module works by accessing some private node APIs. You shouldn't worry about that so, since I will make sure this module does not break in the future by either patching it, or making a patch for node that makes the needed APIs public.
What to do with this
I use this library for dependency injection in unit tests. However, you could also use it to create experimental require addons yourself.
