How would I require() a file if I had the file's contents as a string in memory, without writing it out to disk? Here's an example:
// Load the file as a string var strFileContents = fs.readFileSync( "./myUnalteredModule.js", 'utf8' ); // Do some stuff to the files contents strFileContents[532] = '6'; // Load it as a node module (how would I do this?) var loadedModule = require( doMagic(strFileContents) );
Loading Core Modules In order to use Node. js core or NPM modules, you first need to import it using require() function as shown below. var module = require('module_name'); As per above syntax, specify the module name in the require() function.
Modules are the building block of any node application and are loaded by using require statement or import statement if you are using ES6 Javascript code. program. of the one saved under /Users/Max/node_modules for example. included in your app.
From the node. js documentation: Modules are cached after the first time they are loaded.
function requireFromString(src, filename) { var Module = module.constructor; var m = new Module(); m._compile(src, filename); return m.exports; } console.log(requireFromString('module.exports = { test: 1}', ''));
look at _compile, _extensions and _load in module.js
