- # import-fresh
-
- > Import a module while bypassing the [cache](https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_caching)
-
- Useful for testing purposes when you need to freshly import a module.
-
- ## ESM
-
- For ESM, you can use this snippet:
-
- ```js
- const importFresh = moduleName => import(`${moduleName}?${Date.now()}`);
-
- const {default: foo} = await importFresh('foo');
- ```
-
- **This snippet causes a memory leak, so only use it for short-lived tests.**
-
- ## Install
-
- ```sh
- npm install import-fresh
- ```
-
- ## Usage
-
- ```js
- // foo.js
- let i = 0;
- module.exports = () => ++i;
- ```
-
- ```js
- const importFresh = require('import-fresh');
-
- require('./foo')();
- //=> 1
-
- require('./foo')();
- //=> 2
-
- importFresh('./foo')();
- //=> 1
-
- importFresh('./foo')();
- //=> 1
- ```
