array-inline-transform

Evaluate Node.js module source from a string, buffer, or VM script — the same way require() works, without loading a file.

Uses Node's vm module instead of native eval().

Install

npm install array-inline-transform

Usage

var arrayInline = require('array-inline-transform')
var result = arrayInline(content /*, filename, scope, includeGlobals */)

| Argument | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | content | String | Buffer | vm.Script | Source to evaluate | | filename | String | Optional name used in stack traces | | scope | Object | Variables provided to the source | | includeGlobals | Boolean | Expose Node globals and require (default false) |

Examples

var arrayInline = require('array-inline-transform')

var res = arrayInline('var x = 123; exports.x = x')
// => res === { x: 123 }

res = arrayInline('module.exports = function () { return 123 }')
// => res() === 123

res = arrayInline('module.exports = require("events")', true)
// => res === require('events')

res = arrayInline('exports.x = process', true)
// => res.x === process
