cache-require-source
Caches loaded source in module require to speed up next app load
This is a partial solution to slow Node application startup.
See Node’s require is dog slow for details.
Use
npm install --save cache-require-source
Load the module first in your application file
// index.js
require('cache-require-source');
...The first time the app loads a cache of 3rd party file sources will be saved in a local . file.
Every application startup after that will reuse this cache to avoid loading multiple files.
Works well with cache-require-paths.
TODO
- [ ] Cache only the 3rd party javascript sources
- [ ] Invalidate cache if dependencies in the package.json change
