disrequire
Same as qmock.unrequire, but available standalone.
This package exports a function to undo the side-effects of a require().
All cached copies of an external nodejs module loaded with require will be discarded.
Built-in modules such as http do not have separate cached copies, and are not unloaded.
const disrequire = require('disrequire');
disrequire('config');
Api
disrequire( packageName )
Unload the named package from all require caches. The package is removed from
require.cache and from every module.children[] in which it occurs. Built-in modules
like http are not unloaded.
const disrequire = require('disrequire');
disrequire('config');
disrequire.quick( packageName )
Shallow unload a single copy of the named package from the require caches. The package is
removed from require.cache and from the module that loaded it, ie
require.cache[require.resove(packageName)].parent.children[].
If it is known that only one module loaded the package, it is much faster to not have to walk the module tree searching for other locations.
const disrequire = require('disrequire'); // now you see it
disrequire.quick('disrequire'); // now you dont
