verified May 27, 2026

The `module-available` package provides a synchronous utility function to determine if a given Node.js module name can be successfully resolved and loaded using the `require` mechanism. The current stable version is 1.0.6, released in early 2016. The project appears to be unmaintained, with no updates in over eight years, making it an `abandoned` project. Its core function remains stable for its intended use case: checking the existence and resolvability of modules typically found in `node_modules` or built-in Node.js modules, without actually loading them. This differentiates it from simply attempting a `try/catch` around `require`, as it specifically checks *availability* rather than *loading success*. It strictly operates within the CommonJS module resolution context.
