## README

# require-like

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/felixge/node-require-like.png)](http://travis-ci.org/felixge/node-require-like)

Generates require functions that act as if they were operating in a given path.

## Install

``` bash
npm install require-like
```

## Usage

A require function that acts as if it was executed in `'./lib/bar'`:

``` javascript
var requireLike = require('require-like');
var myRequire = requireLike(__dirname + '/lib/bar.js');

var myFoo = myRequire('./foo.js');
var foo = require('./lib/foo');

require('assert').strictEqual(myFoo, foo);
```

## API

### requireLike(path, [uncached])

Returns a require function that acts as if it was operating in the given
`path`.

Setting the `uncached` parameter to true returns a function that by-passes the
module cache.

## Implementation Details

This module works by accessing some private node APIs. You shouldn't worry about
that so, since I will make sure this module does not break in the future by
either patching it, or making a patch for node that makes the needed APIs
public.

## What to do with this

I use this library for dependency injection in unit tests. However, you could
also use it to create experimental require addons yourself.
