[nodejs] Disabling module caching

[Konstantin Käfer]

Hi,

I want to disable module caching during development and experimented with various ways of hot code loading and file watching (e.g. see http://pastie.textmate.org/private/awhq8uaqadfsdkwtagow) which adds some complexity.

I found that just adding `delete module.moduleCache[module.id];` to the top of the file that shouldn’t be cached does the trick. Is that the recommended way of disabling the cache for a module? Are there better ways (note that I’m only interested in code reloading for development, not for production use).

Kind Regards,
Konstantin

You should also add delete module.moduleCache[__filename] to be
forward-compatible.

You said that this is only for development, and that's great. But
seriously, don't do stuff like this for production. The caching is
there for a reason, and it's very easy to accidentally get infinite
require() loops.
