require() function with an object param?

I'm looking at a require() function that looks like this and I have no clue what it does. It seems like it gets an array of files and builds a string of some try-catch blocks with interpolated module names, but I'm a bit hazy on the specifics.

require('./modules/**/index.js', {mode: (base, files) => {
    return files.map(module => {
        return `
            try {
                require('${module}');
            } catch (e) {
                debug.error('Failed to ${module}', e.stack);
            }
        `;
    }).join(' ');
}});

I looked for params in the Node documentation (https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_require_id) and couldn't find anything. Anyone have any ideas?

It's not a regular require.

It's a require-globify package. It allows globbing expressions to require. mode key of second parameter defines how to handle the calls.
