Node.js Addon Require multiple times new instace

Question

How can I avoid cache with require('c++addon'). I have an addon but will like to have a new one every time.

e.g

for(...)
 addon[i] = require('addon'); // I want a new one everytime
 addon[i].somefunction(); //  

Thank you.

You will have to refactor your addon module so it exposes a function to construct these instances, e.g.

const myAddon = require('addon');
objects = [myAddon.create(), myAddon.create(), myAddon.create()];
objects[0].somefunction();
