native-require

Requiring external node modules in Webpack

When you're creating a library and packed with Webpack, you usually have to dynamic require some .js files which user provided.

With this module, you can require from external node_modules without getting a 'Critical dependency' warning.

Quick usage

Install

// Using with `webpack-node-externals`
$ npm install --save native-require

// Using without `webpack-node-externals`
$ npm install --save-dev native-require

Use in your code

// Simple use
const nrequire = require('native-require')
nrequire('axios')
nrequire.resolve('axios')

// Resolve from another dir. (useful in helper modules)
const nrequire = require('native-require').from(userProvidedBasedir)
nrequire('axios')
nrequire.resolve('axios')

API

• nrequire(path: String) : Require module from process.cwd(), just like require()
• nrequire.resolve(request: String) : Resolve module dir from process.cwd(), just like require.resolve()
• nrequire.from(basedir: String) : Return a new module instance which do the same work but resolving modules from basedir
