[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-890) Add caching to CommonJS modules

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-890?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12998265#comment-12998265 ] 

Caolan McMahon commented on COUCHDB-890:
----------------------------------------

Having a module cache that can persist state between requests might not be a good idea since it could be unreliable with multiple js processes or break the caching rules. How would you know if a resource has changed if it also depends on the state of commonjs modules?

See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1075 for a patch that implements a module cache which is cleared between requests. You don't get the same performance benefits, but you do get increased compatibility with modules which store some state on the module (such as template libraries), and it also fixes circular requires.

> We need some caching in the commonjs modules so that when you require('jsdom') it doesn't eval it every time you do a GET request to a show function.
> Patch coming.
