me-not v0.1.1

me-not

Simple module to require modules without always using require.

It's a concept library that uses Proxy to avoid the annoyance to require modules.

You should probably use ES2015 modules by now, but sometimes it's nice to get things just when you need them.

Note: this module does not play nicely with Node REPL. It throws a bunch of errors because it tries to call inspect, valueOf and those sort of methods. But the module is there and it works.

Node.js 6.x and newer is needed for this to work.

Usage

Instead of

const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const _ = require("underscore");

fs.readFile(path.resolve(...));

you can do

const R = require("me-not"); // require-me-not... get it? ... Plz I know...
const _ = R.underscore;

R.fs.readFile(R.path.resolve(...));

That's it. It just saves some typing. It can be used to require files with a path:

const module = R["./lib/module"];

Using delete unloads a module from require's cache:

delete R.underscore;
