This is probably the closest you can currently get to require something in node.js with completely bypassing the require cache. . stealthy-require works like this: . * It clears the require cache. * It calls a callback in which you require your module(s) without the cache kicking in. * It clears the cache again and restores its old state. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
