# import-lazy [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/import-lazy)

|
|
|
> Import a module lazily
|
|
|
|
Note: Version 3 is exclusively `Proxy`-based and requires Node.js 6+. Use [version 2](https://github.com/sindresorhus/import-lazy/tree/ed6c2fac31aaf8a7d91a27295756383487f3965d) if you need Node.js <=5 support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install import-lazy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Pass in `require` or a custom import function
|
|
const importLazy = require('import-lazy')(require);
|
|
const _ = importLazy('lodash');
|
|
|
|
// Instead of referring to its exported properties directly…
|
|
_.isNumber(2);
|
|
|
|
// …it's cached on consecutive calls
|
|
_.isNumber('unicorn');
|
|
|
|
// It also works using destructuring assignment in ES2015
|
|
const {isNumber, isString} = importLazy('lodash');
|
|
|
|
// Works out of the box for functions and regular properties
|
|
const stuff = importLazy('./math-lib');
|
|
console.log(stuff.sum(1, 2)); // => 3
|
|
console.log(stuff.PHI); // => 1.618033
|
|
```
