no-cache-loader

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

A webpack loader that disables caching by returning a new module instance on each require call. Version 1.0.0. Useful for loading mutable data like JSON fixtures where module identity must differ. Simple and focused; no release cadence documented, likely maintenance mode. Only 4 lines of source code.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import noCacheLoader from 'no-cache-loader'

✗ const noCacheLoader = require('no-cache-loader')

For direct usage as a webpack rule, specify loader string 'no-cache-loader'. Not meant for programmatic import.

no-cache-loader (webpack config)

✓ module: { rules: [{ test: /\.json$/, use: 'no-cache-loader' }] }

✗ module: { rules: [{ test: /\.json$/, loader: 'no-cache' }] }

In webpack config, use full package name 'no-cache-loader' not 'no-cache'.

inline usage

✓ require('no-cache-loader!./module.js')

✗ require('no-cache!./module.js')

Inline usage: always include 'no-cache-loader' not 'no-cache'.

Shows how to configure no-cache-loader in webpack to avoid caching of JSON modules, ensuring each require returns a fresh instance.

// Install: npm install --save no-cache-loader // webpack.config.js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.json$/, use: 'no-cache-loader' } ] } }; // Then in your code: const obj1 = require('./data.json'); const obj2 = require('./data.json'); console.log(obj1 === obj2); // false - different objects each time

Debug

Known issues

gotchaLoader is extremely simple (4 lines) and may not handle edge cases like errors or large files gracefully.

fix

For production use, consider a more robust solution or test thoroughly.

affects: <=1.0.0

gotchaOnly works with webpack. Not compatible with other bundlers or Node.js require.

fix

Use only in webpack builds.

affects: <=1.0.0

gotchaNo caching at all - each require() will re-execute the module logic, which can impact performance if called frequently.

fix

Be mindful of performance. Use only when module identity mutability is required.

affects: <=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'no-cache' in ...

Using 'no-cache' instead of 'no-cache-loader' in webpack config or inline require.

fix

Change to 'no-cache-loader': require('no-cache-loader!./module.js') or { test: /\.json$/, use: 'no-cache-loader' }.
