How can I change a dependency import depending on the request?

I have an internal form service that collects payments via Stripe. I'm curious how I can toggle between test mode and live mode with their SDK based on a query param?

Here's an example route: 

router.post("/:formId", function(req, res, next) {

    let isTest = false
     var stripeSdk = require("stripe")(process.env.stripe_client_secret);
    if (req.query.test === "true") {
      stripeSdk = require("stripe")(process.env.stripe_client_test_secret);

      isTest = true;
        }

//use the sdk with either test or live mode depending on the call
});

The code above works, but I'm curious if there's a better way to change an npm package import based on the request.

You could write:

const isTest = (req.query.test === "true");
const stripeSecret = isTest ? process.env.stripe_client_test_secret : process.env.stripe_client_secret;
const stripeSdk = require('stripe')(stripeSecret);

But I guess it is more a matter of taste than anything else.

I don't think it gets more fancy than that.
