recursive-uncache

require per caches all modules. If you remove a module from require.cache, but the parent module doesn't reevaluate its require calls, the old state persists.

recursive-uncache removes a module and all recursive parents from the cache.

Install

npm install --save-dev recursive-uncache

Usage

uncache = require("recursive-uncache")

uncache(module,base=".",verbose=false) // module must be a absolute path
// example with chokidar
chokidar.watch(["./src"],{ignoreInitial: true})
.on("all", (ev, filepath) => uncache(filepath))
