# import-fresh
> Import a module while bypassing the [cache](https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_caching)
Useful for testing purposes when you need to freshly import a module.
## ESM
For ESM, you can use this snippet:
```js
const importFresh = moduleName => import(`${moduleName}?${Date.now()}`);
const {default: foo} = await importFresh('foo');
```
**This snippet causes a memory leak, so only use it for short-lived tests.**
## Install
```sh
npm install import-fresh
```
## Usage
```js
// foo.js
let i = 0;
module.exports = () => ++i;
```
```js
const importFresh = require('import-fresh');
require('./foo')();
//=> 1
require('./foo')();
//=> 2
importFresh('./foo')();
//=> 1
importFresh('./foo')();
//=> 1
```
