# lazy-req [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/lazy-req)
|
|
|
|
> Require modules lazily
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install --save lazy-req
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// pass in `require` or a custom require function
|
|
const lazyReq = require('lazy-req')(require);
|
|
const _ = lazyReq('lodash');
|
|
|
|
// Where you would normally do
|
|
_.isNumber(2);
|
|
|
|
// You now instead call it as a function
|
|
_().isNumber(2);
|
|
|
|
// It's cached on consecutive calls
|
|
_().isString('unicorn');
|
|
|
|
// Extract lazy variations of the props you need
|
|
const members = lazyReq('lodash')('isNumber', 'isString');
|
|
|
|
// Useful when using destructuring assignment in ES2015
|
|
const {isNumber, isString} = lazyReq('lodash')('isNumber', 'isString');
|
|
|
|
// Works out of the box for functions and regular properties
|
|
const stuff = lazyReq('./math-lib')('sum', 'PHI');
|
|
console.log(stuff.sum(1, 2)); // => 3
|
|
console.log(stuff.PHI); // => 1.618033
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Proxy support in Node.js 6 or later
|
|
|
|
If you use Node.js 6 or later, you can take advantage of ES2015 proxies and don't need to call it as a function.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const lazyReq = require('lazy-req').proxy(require);
|
|
const _ = lazyReq('lodash');
|
|
|
|
// No need to call it as a function but still lazily required
|
|
_.isNumber(2);
|
|
```
