Cleanly require a module from disk, having flushed the module's cache, including all of its submodules. Used like normal require.
``
$ npm install require-clean --save
In your code:
`
var requireClean = require('require-clean');
and then
`
var someMod = requireClean('../path/to/someMod');
or
`
requireClean.clean('../path/to/someMod'); // flush the cache for module + all submodules
var someMod = require('../path/to/someMod'); // normal require (but freshly read module + submodules)
If you want to delete ONLY the module and not its submodules, use :
`
var someMod = requireClean('../path/to/someMod', false);
or
`
requireClean.clean('../path/to/someMod', false); // flush the cache for module ONLY
var someMod = require('../path/to/someMod'); // normal require (but freshly read module)
`
requireClean.clean()
