ModuleLoader

Module loader class that bypasses Roblox's require cache.

This class aims to solve a common problem where code needs to be run in Studio, but once a change is made to an already required module the whole place must be reloaded for the cache to be reset. With this class, the cache is ignored when requiring a module so you are able to load a module, make changes, and load it again without reloading.

Usage

local ModuleLoader = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.ModuleLoader)

local loader = ModuleLoader.new()
loader:require(ReplicatedStorage.ModuleScript)

Installation

Installing the package is quick and easy whether you use a package manager like Wally or work directly in Studio.

Wally (Recommended)

Add the following to your wally.toml and run wally install to download the package.

[dependencies]
ModuleLoader = "flipbook-labs/module-loader@0.6.1"

Make sure the resulting Packages folder is synced into your experience using a tool like Rojo.

Roblox Studio

• Download a copy of the rbxm from the releases page under the Assets section.
• Drag and drop the file into Roblox Studio to add it to your experience.

Credits

Parts of this class were taken verbatim from OrbitalOwen/roblox-testservice-watcher, and other parts were rewritten to allow the module loading code to be abstracted into a new package.
