Variables

• requireFreshSafe

Functions

• requireFresh()
• requireFreshCallback()
• requireFreshPromise()

Type Aliases

• Errback

variable requireFreshSafe

const requireFreshSafe: (path: string, next: Errback) => void;

function requireFresh

requireFresh: (path: string) => any;

• Require the path without any caching.

  Parameter path

  the path to require

  Returns

  the result of the require call

  Throws

  note that the require call may throw if something went wrong requiring the path

function requireFreshCallback

requireFreshCallback: (path: string, next: Errback) => void;

• Require the path without any caching, but catch errors into the callback. Error cannot be returned because what if the module intended to RETURN (not throw) an error, hence why callback is used, as it can differentiate between returned and thrown errors.

  Parameter path

  the path to require

  Parameter next

  the callback

  Returns

  {void}

function requireFreshPromise

requireFreshPromise: (path: string) => Promise<unknown>;

• Require the path without any caching, but catch errors into the callback. Error cannot be returned because what if the module intended to RETURN (not throw) an error, hence why promise is used, as it can differentiate between returned and thrown errors.

  Parameter path

  the path to require

  Returns

  {void}

type Errback

type Errback = (error: Error | undefined, result: any) => any;

• Require Fresh Callback in typical errback style.

  Parameter error

  if the require call threw, this is its error

  Parameter result

  if the require call performed succesfully, this is its result
