Ensure that a NPM dependency is resolved.
npm install force-require --save
First load the library:
var forceRequire = require('force-require');
Now you can use like require
command.
Try to load a dependency based in the name. If cb
is provided then the call will be resolved follow async interface.
Internally the library follow the next algorithm:
-
Try to require the dependency locally. This means that exists in the current
process.cwd()/node_modules
folder as direct dependency or a dependency of another dependency. -
If not possible to resolve locally, then try to resolve globally in your system. Try to require the dependency globally using the module global-modules.
-
At this poin of the algorithm, the dependency was not found. Let's install as global module and later require it.
