How do I clear the cache in Node.js?

You can clear the cache in Node.js by using the require.cache object. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! You can clear a specific module from the cache like this:

delete require.cache[require.resolve('module-name')];

This will remove the module from the cache, and the next time you require it, it will be loaded fresh.

What if I want to clear all cached modules?

To clear all cached modules, you can loop through require.cache and delete each entry:

Object.keys(require.cache).forEach((key) => {
    delete require.cache[key];
});

This will clear the entire cache.
