API
forceResolve.(<String>, cb)
Try to load a dependency based in the name. If cb
is provided then the call will be resolved as sync interface.
Internally the library follow the next algorithm:
1) Try to require the dependency locally. This means that exists in the current process.cwd()/node_modules
folder
as direct dependency or a dependency of another dependency.
2) If not possible to resolve locally, then try to resolve globally in your system. Try to require the dependency globally using the module global-modules.
3) At this poin of the algorithm, the dependency was not found. Let's install as global module and later require it.
