## README

# dynamic-import-no-cache

according to [ECMAScript](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-hostimportmoduledynamically), the contents of dynamic imports are cached by default.

> Any subsequent call to [`import()`] given the arguments `referencingScriptOrModule` and `specifier`, must return [...] a module which has already been evaluated

which means if you are using a dynamic import as part of your build process (eg. using chokidar to execute a function when a file is changed/added/deleted), then `await import("/path/to/resource.js")` will not fetch the updated version, rather the (cached) version that was fetched the first time that call was made.

`dinc` solves this by adding a cache busting timestamp param to the request, forcing node to fetch the fresh contents.

```js
import dinc from "dynamic-import-no-cache";

const someResource = await dinc("/path/to/resource.js");
```

alternatively, if you don't want to install yet another node package, you can just do:

```js
const someResource = await import(`/path/to/resource.js?${Date.now()}`);
```
