This would simplify mocking only a subset of a module's exports. A common use-case for this is a method that will do something undesirable in a test environment, like start a server.
Currently, it's possible with some non-obvious gymnastics:
Instead, with
preserveOthers
, it's more straightforward:There is some hidden complexity in the implementation though: When a module is loaded, it’s immediately added to the module cache (which is controlled by V8—node can’t manipulate it).
So we’ll need to do some trickery like initially load the module with a query param appended to the specifier (which may already have a query param of its own 🤪), grab the exports and cache them for as long as the module is in scope: A module can be mocked multiple times, potentially with different replacements. We’ll need to diff replacements and original.
This would also facilitate supporting a feature like Jest's
