# safe-require

A function that acts pretty much like [require](http://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require) but returns

undefined when the module is not found (instead of throwing an exception).

## Usage

```

$ npm install safe-require

(...)

$ node

> var safeRequire = require('safe-require')

undefined

> safeRequire('url') // loads any module, local or not, just as require()

{ parse: [Function: urlParse],

  resolve: [Function: urlResolve],

  resolveObject: [Function: urlResolveObject],

  format: [Function: urlFormat],

  Url: [Function: Url] }

> safeRequire('nonexistent') // require('nonexistent') would throw "Cannot find module 'nonexistent'"

undefined

```
