Make `.globalAgent` use `cacheable-lookup` about cacheable-lookup HOT 7 CLOSED

You can't.

I think we should open an issue on Node.js then about adding an API to officially allow intercepting http.get calls. There are lots of use-cases for that, including caching, debugging, etc.

If shimmer mocks the require function, then you're good. Just remember to import got after mocking http.

Anyway I don't like that approach - it's too much hassle. Why don't you use something simpler, for example Got hooks? I mean the beforeRequest hook. You can change the options too.

My point is, how to leverage the functionality on this library into the http underlayer without using an explicit require or involve a dependency that integrates this library?

I agree it could be useful to be able to globally inject this, as long as it's clearly documented it should not be done in reusable packages.

Something like:

const CacheableLookup = require('cacheable-lookup');

CacheableLookup.initGlobally();

Where initGlobally() would accept the same options as an instance.

We cannot patch the http module, but we can override the global Agent.
