Import a module while bypassing the cache
npm install import-fresh> Import a module while bypassing the cache
Useful for testing purposes when you need to freshly import a module.
For ESM, you can use this snippet:
``js${moduleName}?${Date.now()}
const importFresh = moduleName => import();
const {default: foo} = await importFresh('foo');
`
This snippet causes a memory leak, so only use it for short-lived tests.
`sh`
npm install import-fresh
`js`
// foo.js
let i = 0;
module.exports = () => ++i;
`js
const importFresh = require('import-fresh');
require('./foo')();
//=> 1
require('./foo')();
//=> 2
importFresh('./foo')();
//=> 1
importFresh('./foo')();
//=> 1
