try-require-please

Try to require the given module, failing loudly with default message if module does not exists.

Install

npm i try-require-please --save

Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

const tryRequirePlease = require('try-require-please')

tryRequirePlease

Try to require module.

Params

• <name> {String}: module name to try to require
• [wantedBy] {String}: optionally give name of module that requires it

Example

const simpleGet = tryRequire('simple-get', 'request-all')
// => simpleGet module or the thrown error

or you will see something like that

Please install `simple-get`, because `request-all` needs it.
Maybe `simple-get` is devDependency, because adds optional functionality?
