module.builtinModules#

• <string[]>

A list of the names of all modules provided by Node.js. Can be used to verify if a module is maintained by a third party or not.

module in this context isn't the same object that's provided by the module wrapper. To access it, require the Module module:

// module.mjs
// In an ECMAScript module
import { builtinModules as builtin } from 'node:module';// module.cjs
// In a CommonJS module
const builtin = require('node:module').builtinModules;copy

module.createRequire(filename)#

• filename <string> | <URL> Filename to be used to construct the require function. Must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path string.
• Returns: <require> Require function

import { createRequire } from 'node:module';
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);

// sibling-module.js is a CommonJS module.
const siblingModule = require('./sibling-module'); copy

module.findPackageJSON(specifier[, base])#

• specifier <string> | <URL> The specifier for the module whose package.json to retrieve. When passing a bare specifier, the package.json at the root of the package is returned. When passing a relative specifier or an absolute specifier, the closest parent package.json is returned.
• base <string> | <URL> The absolute location (file: URL string or FS path) of the containing module. For CJS, use __filename (not __dirname!); for ESM, use import.meta.url. You do not need to pass it if specifier is an absolute specifier.
• Returns: <string> | <undefined> A path if the package.json is found. When specifier is a package, the package's root package.json; when a relative or unresolved, the closest package.json to the specifier.

Caveat: Do not use this to try to determine module format. There are many things affecting that determination; the type field of package.json is the least definitive (ex file extension supersedes it, and a loader hook supersedes that).

Caveat: This currently leverages only the built-in default resolver; if resolve customization hooks are registered, they will not affect the resolution. This may change in the future.

module.isBuiltin(moduleName)#

• moduleName <string> name of the module
• Returns: <boolean> returns true if the module is builtin else returns false

import { isBuiltin } from 'node:module';
isBuiltin('node:fs'); // true
isBuiltin('fs'); // true
isBuiltin('wss'); // false copy

module.register(specifier[, parentURL][, options])#

• specifier <string> | <URL> Customization hooks to be registered; this should be the same string that would be passed to import(), except that if it is relative, it is resolved relative to parentURL.
• parentURL <string> | <URL> If you want to resolve specifier relative to a base URL, such as import.meta.url, you can pass that URL here. Default: 'data:'
• options <Object>
  • parentURL <string> | <URL> If you want to resolve specifier relative to a base URL, such as import.meta.url, you can pass that URL here. This property is ignored if the parentURL is supplied as the second argument. Default: 'data:'
  • data <any> Any arbitrary, cloneable JavaScript value to pass into the initialize hook.
  • transferList <Object[]> transferable objects to be passed into the initialize hook.

Register a module that exports hooks that customize Node.js module resolution and loading behavior. See Customization hooks.

This feature requires --allow-worker if used with the Permission Model.

module.registerHooks(options)#

• options <Object>
  • load <Function> | <undefined> See load hook. Default: undefined.
  • resolve <Function> | <undefined> See resolve hook. Default: undefined.

Register hooks that customize Node.js module resolution and loading behavior. See Customization hooks.

module.stripTypeScriptTypes(code[, options])#

• code <string> The code to strip type annotations from.
• options <Object>
  • mode <string> Default: 'strip'. Possible values are:
    • 'strip' Only strip type annotations without performing the transformation of TypeScript features.
    • 'transform' Strip type annotations and transform TypeScript features to JavaScript.
  • sourceMap <boolean> Default: false. Only when mode is 'transform', if true, a source map will be generated for the transformed code.
  • sourceUrl <string> Specifies the source url used in the source map.
• Returns: <string> The code with type annotations stripped. module.stripTypeScriptTypes() removes type annotations from TypeScript code. It can be used to strip type annotations from TypeScript code before running it with vm.runInContext() or vm.compileFunction(). By default, it will throw an error if the code contains TypeScript features that require transformation such as Enums, see type-stripping for more information. When mode is 'transform', it also transforms TypeScript features to JavaScript, see transform TypeScript features for more information. When mode is 'strip', source maps are not generated, because locations are preserved. If sourceMap is provided, when mode is 'strip', an error will be thrown.

WARNING: The output of this function should not be considered stable across Node.js versions, due to changes in the TypeScript parser.

import { stripTypeScriptTypes } from 'node:module';
const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code);
console.log(strippedCode);
// Prints: const a         = 1;const { stripTypeScriptTypes } = require('node:module');
const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code);
console.log(strippedCode);
// Prints: const a         = 1;copy

If sourceUrl is provided, it will be used appended as a comment at the end of the output:

import { stripTypeScriptTypes } from 'node:module';
const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'strip', sourceUrl: 'source.ts' });
console.log(strippedCode);
// Prints: const a         = 1\n\n//# sourceURL=source.ts;const { stripTypeScriptTypes } = require('node:module');
const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'strip', sourceUrl: 'source.ts' });
console.log(strippedCode);
// Prints: const a         = 1\n\n//# sourceURL=source.ts;copy

When mode is 'transform', the code is transformed to JavaScript:

import { stripTypeScriptTypes } from 'node:module';
const code = `
  namespace MathUtil {
    export const add = (a: number, b: number) => a + b;
  }`;
const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'transform', sourceMap: true });
console.log(strippedCode);
// Prints:
// var MathUtil;
// (function(MathUtil) {
//     MathUtil.add = (a, b)=>a + b;
// })(MathUtil || (MathUtil = {}));
// # sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64, ...const { stripTypeScriptTypes } = require('node:module');
const code = `
  namespace MathUtil {
    export const add = (a: number, b: number) => a + b;
  }`;
const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'transform', sourceMap: true });
console.log(strippedCode);
// Prints:
// var MathUtil;
// (function(MathUtil) {
//     MathUtil.add = (a, b)=>a + b;
// })(MathUtil || (MathUtil = {}));
// # sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64, ...copy

module.syncBuiltinESMExports()#

The module.syncBuiltinESMExports() method updates all the live bindings for builtin ES Modules to match the properties of the CommonJS exports. It does not add or remove exported names from the ES Modules.

const fs = require('node:fs');
const assert = require('node:assert');
const { syncBuiltinESMExports } = require('node:module');

fs.readFile = newAPI;

delete fs.readFileSync;

function newAPI() {
  // ...
}

fs.newAPI = newAPI;

syncBuiltinESMExports();

import('node:fs').then((esmFS) => {
  // It syncs the existing readFile property with the new value
  assert.strictEqual(esmFS.readFile, newAPI);
  // readFileSync has been deleted from the required fs
  assert.strictEqual('readFileSync' in fs, false);
  // syncBuiltinESMExports() does not remove readFileSync from esmFS
  assert.strictEqual('readFileSync' in esmFS, true);
  // syncBuiltinESMExports() does not add names
  assert.strictEqual(esmFS.newAPI, undefined);
}); copy

module.constants.compileCacheStatus#

The following constants are returned as the status field in the object returned by module.enableCompileCache() to indicate the result of the attempt to enable the module compile cache.

module.enableCompileCache([cacheDir])#

• cacheDir <string> | <undefined> Optional path to specify the directory where the compile cache will be stored/retrieved.
• Returns: <Object>
  • status <integer> One of the module.constants.compileCacheStatus
  • message <string> | <undefined> If Node.js cannot enable the compile cache, this contains the error message. Only set if status is module.constants.compileCacheStatus.FAILED.
  • directory <string> | <undefined> If the compile cache is enabled, this contains the directory where the compile cache is stored. Only set if status is module.constants.compileCacheStatus.ENABLED or module.constants.compileCacheStatus.ALREADY_ENABLED.

Enable module compile cache in the current Node.js instance.

If cacheDir is not specified, Node.js will either use the directory specified by the NODE_COMPILE_CACHE=dir environment variable if it's set, or use path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'node-compile-cache') otherwise. For general use cases, it's recommended to call module.enableCompileCache() without specifying the cacheDir, so that the directory can be overridden by the NODE_COMPILE_CACHE environment variable when necessary.

Since compile cache is supposed to be a quiet optimization that is not required for the application to be functional, this method is designed to not throw any exception when the compile cache cannot be enabled. Instead, it will return an object containing an error message in the message field to aid debugging. If compile cache is enabled successfully, the directory field in the returned object contains the path to the directory where the compile cache is stored. The status field in the returned object would be one of the module.constants.compileCacheStatus values to indicate the result of the attempt to enable the module compile cache.

This method only affects the current Node.js instance. To enable it in child worker threads, either call this method in child worker threads too, or set the process.env.NODE_COMPILE_CACHE value to compile cache directory so the behavior can be inherited into the child workers. The directory can be obtained either from the directory field returned by this method, or with module.getCompileCacheDir().

module.flushCompileCache()#

Flush the module compile cache accumulated from modules already loaded in the current Node.js instance to disk. This returns after all the flushing file system operations come to an end, no matter they succeed or not. If there are any errors, this will fail silently, since compile cache misses should not interfere with the actual operation of the application.

module.getCompileCacheDir()#

• Returns: <string> | <undefined> Path to the module compile cache directory if it is enabled, or undefined otherwise.

Enabling#

Module resolution and loading can be customized by:

1. Registering a file which exports a set of asynchronous hook functions, using the register method from node:module,
2. Registering a set of synchronous hook functions using the registerHooks method from node:module.

The hooks can be registered before the application code is run by using the --import or --require flag:

node --import ./register-hooks.js ./my-app.js
node --require ./register-hooks.js ./my-app.js copy

// register-hooks.js
// This file can only be require()-ed if it doesn't contain top-level await.
// Use module.register() to register asynchronous hooks in a dedicated thread.
import { register } from 'node:module';
register('./hooks.mjs', import.meta.url);// register-hooks.js
const { register } = require('node:module');
const { pathToFileURL } = require('node:url');
// Use module.register() to register asynchronous hooks in a dedicated thread.
register('./hooks.mjs', pathToFileURL(__filename));copy

// Use module.registerHooks() to register synchronous hooks in the main thread.
import { registerHooks } from 'node:module';
registerHooks({
  resolve(specifier, context, nextResolve) { /* implementation */ },
  load(url, context, nextLoad) { /* implementation */ },
});// Use module.registerHooks() to register synchronous hooks in the main thread.
const { registerHooks } = require('node:module');
registerHooks({
  resolve(specifier, context, nextResolve) { /* implementation */ },
  load(url, context, nextLoad) { /* implementation */ },
});copy

The file passed to --import or --require can also be an export from a dependency:

node --import some-package/register ./my-app.js
node --require some-package/register ./my-app.js copy

Where some-package has an "exports" field defining the /register export to map to a file that calls register(), like the following register-hooks.js example.

Using --import or --require ensures that the hooks are registered before any application files are imported, including the entry point of the application and for any worker threads by default as well.

Alternatively, register() and registerHooks() can be called from the entry point, though dynamic import() must be used for any ESM code that should be run after the hooks are registered.

import { register } from 'node:module';

register('http-to-https', import.meta.url);

// Because this is a dynamic `import()`, the `http-to-https` hooks will run
// to handle `./my-app.js` and any other files it imports or requires.
await import('./my-app.js');const { register } = require('node:module');
const { pathToFileURL } = require('node:url');

register('http-to-https', pathToFileURL(__filename));

// Because this is a dynamic `import()`, the `http-to-https` hooks will run
// to handle `./my-app.js` and any other files it imports or requires.
import('./my-app.js');copy

Customization hooks will run for any modules loaded later than the registration and the modules they reference via import and the built-in require. require function created by users using module.createRequire() can only be customized by the synchronous hooks.

In this example, we are registering the http-to-https hooks, but they will only be available for subsequently imported modules — in this case, my-app.js and anything it references via import or built-in require in CommonJS dependencies.

If the import('./my-app.js') had instead been a static import './my-app.js', the app would have already been loaded before the http-to-https hooks were registered. This due to the ES modules specification, where static imports are evaluated from the leaves of the tree first, then back to the trunk. There can be static imports within my-app.js, which will not be evaluated until my-app.js is dynamically imported.

If synchronous hooks are used, both import, require and user require created using createRequire() are supported.

import { registerHooks, createRequire } from 'node:module';

registerHooks({ /* implementation of synchronous hooks */ });

const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);

// The synchronous hooks affect import, require() and user require() function
// created through createRequire().
await import('./my-app.js');
require('./my-app-2.js');const { register, registerHooks } = require('node:module');
const { pathToFileURL } = require('node:url');

registerHooks({ /* implementation of synchronous hooks */ });

const userRequire = createRequire(__filename);

// The synchronous hooks affect import, require() and user require() function
// created through createRequire().
import('./my-app.js');
require('./my-app-2.js');
userRequire('./my-app-3.js');copy

Finally, if all you want to do is register hooks before your app runs and you don't want to create a separate file for that purpose, you can pass a data: URL to --import:

node --import 'data:text/javascript,import { register } from "node:module"; import { pathToFileURL } from "node:url"; register("http-to-https", pathToFileURL("./"));' ./my-app.js copy

Chaining#

It's possible to call register more than once:

// entrypoint.mjs
import { register } from 'node:module';

register('./foo.mjs', import.meta.url);
register('./bar.mjs', import.meta.url);
await import('./my-app.mjs');// entrypoint.cjs
const { register } = require('node:module');
const { pathToFileURL } = require('node:url');

const parentURL = pathToFileURL(__filename);
register('./foo.mjs', parentURL);
register('./bar.mjs', parentURL);
import('./my-app.mjs');copy

In this example, the registered hooks will form chains. These chains run last-in, first out (LIFO). If both foo.mjs and bar.mjs define a resolve hook, they will be called like so (note the right-to-left): node's default ← ./foo.mjs ← ./bar.mjs (starting with ./bar.mjs, then ./foo.mjs, then the Node.js default). The same applies to all the other hooks.

The registered hooks also affect register itself. In this example, bar.mjs will be resolved and loaded via the hooks registered by foo.mjs (because foo's hooks will have already been added to the chain). This allows for things like writing hooks in non-JavaScript languages, so long as earlier registered hooks transpile into JavaScript.

The register method cannot be called from within the module that defines the hooks.

Chaining of registerHooks work similarly. If synchronous and asynchronous hooks are mixed, the synchronous hooks are always run first before the asynchronous hooks start running, that is, in the last synchronous hook being run, its next hook includes invocation of the asynchronous hooks.

// entrypoint.mjs
import { registerHooks } from 'node:module';

const hook1 = { /* implementation of hooks */ };
const hook2 = { /* implementation of hooks */ };
// hook2 run before hook1.
registerHooks(hook1);
registerHooks(hook2);// entrypoint.cjs
const { registerHooks } = require('node:module');

const hook1 = { /* implementation of hooks */ };
const hook2 = { /* implementation of hooks */ };
// hook2 run before hook1.
registerHooks(hook1);
registerHooks(hook2);copy

Communication with module customization hooks#

Asynchronous hooks run on a dedicated thread, separate from the main thread that runs application code. This means mutating global variables won't affect the other thread(s), and message channels must be used to communicate between the threads.

The register method can be used to pass data to an initialize hook. The data passed to the hook may include transferable objects like ports.

import { register } from 'node:module';
import { MessageChannel } from 'node:worker_threads';

// This example demonstrates how a message channel can be used to
// communicate with the hooks, by sending `port2` to the hooks.
const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannel();

port1.on('message', (msg) => {
  console.log(msg);
});
port1.unref();

register('./my-hooks.mjs', {
  parentURL: import.meta.url,
  data: { number: 1, port: port2 },
  transferList: [port2],
});const { register } = require('node:module');
const { pathToFileURL } = require('node:url');
const { MessageChannel } = require('node:worker_threads');

// This example showcases how a message channel can be used to
// communicate with the hooks, by sending `port2` to the hooks.
const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannel();

port1.on('message', (msg) => {
  console.log(msg);
});
port1.unref();

register('./my-hooks.mjs', {
  parentURL: pathToFileURL(__filename),
  data: { number: 1, port: port2 },
  transferList: [port2],
});copy

Synchronous module hooks are run on the same thread where the application code is run. They can directly mutate the globals of the context accessed by the main thread.

Examples#

The various module customization hooks can be used together to accomplish wide-ranging customizations of the Node.js code loading and evaluation behaviors.

// https-hooks.mjs
import { get } from 'node:https';

export function load(url, context, nextLoad) {
  // For JavaScript to be loaded over the network, we need to fetch and
  // return it.
  if (url.startsWith('https://')) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      get(url, (res) => {
        let data = '';
        res.setEncoding('utf8');
        res.on('data', (chunk) => data += chunk);
        res.on('end', () => resolve({
          // This example assumes all network-provided JavaScript is ES module
          // code.
          format: 'module',
          shortCircuit: true,
          source: data,
        }));
      }).on('error', (err) => reject(err));
    });
  }

  // Let Node.js handle all other URLs.
  return nextLoad(url);
} copy

// main.mjs

module.getSourceMapsSupport()#

• Returns: <Object>
  • enabled <boolean> If the source maps support is enabled
  • nodeModules <boolean> If the support is enabled for files in node_modules.
  • generatedCode <boolean> If the support is enabled for generated code from eval or new Function.

This method returns whether the Source Map v3 support for stack traces is enabled.

module.findSourceMap(path)#

• path <string>
• Returns: <module.SourceMap> | <undefined> Returns module.SourceMap if a source map is found, undefined otherwise.

path is the resolved path for the file for which a corresponding source map should be fetched.

module.setSourceMapsSupport(enabled[, options])#

• enabled <boolean> Enable the source map support.
• options <Object> Optional
  • nodeModules <boolean> If enabling the support for files in node_modules. Default: false.
  • generatedCode <boolean> If enabling the support for generated code from eval or new Function. Default: false.

This function enables or disables the Source Map v3 support for stack traces.

It provides same features as launching Node.js process with commandline options --enable-source-maps, with additional options to alter the support for files in node_modules or generated codes.

Only source maps in JavaScript files that are loaded after source maps has been enabled will be parsed and loaded. Preferably, use the commandline options --enable-source-maps to avoid losing track of source maps of modules loaded before this API call.
