Dynamically access variable inside `require` keyword

Question

I want to implement a async require so i am using a variable inside require keyword that is not working, But if i supply string it works as usual. I want a help to set it working properly

const asyncRequire = (path) => {
    try {
        return require(path);
    } catch (error) {
        LogUtils.error('Dynamic Require failed', error);
        return null;
    }
};

This require(path)is not working.

remember, path must be relative to actually where you're calling `require` from, not `asyncRequire` — Ayush Gupta, Jun 06 '19 at 11:40
Yeah, it's relative but the require eywork is not taking varibale as an argument — Tarik Sahni, Jun 06 '19 at 11:52
Please use tags properly, tagging a question as both `node.js` and `react` reduces your chances of getting a proper solution for your environment — Ayush Gupta, Jun 06 '19 at 12:16

You cannot use dynamic paths in require currently. Please check this answer.
