Modules and RequireJS
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Most of the system is loaded via browser context RequireJS loader, in
|
|
node/electron/nw context node-specific stuff is loaded with a second
|
|
node-enabled RequireJS instance or node require.
|
|
|
|
The ideal solution would be to use one require that sees both the browser
|
|
and node contexts, the problem is exactly in this, the browser requirejs
|
|
does not see either node or node modules while the node require loads code
|
|
that is not visible to devtools unless it is running at that exact moment.
|
|
|
|
Thus we are forced to use both mode requirejs loaders which may be
|
|
confusing at times.
|
|
|

|
|
Different loaders
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
There are two RequireJS instances present in most contexts in nw.js
|
|
within the define(..) runner:
|
|
- require(..)
|
|
Pure browser RequireJS instance, used to load local
|
|
modules.
|
|
|
|
- requirejs(..)
|
|
Node-enabled RequireJS instance, used to load node
|
|
modules.
|
|
This is needed as the above require(..) overloads the
|
|
node native loader.
|
|
|
|
The future
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This seems a bit confusing, so at least the naming convention should be
|
|
revised.
