Client side include for JS.

[Lunalol]

Hi, all.

In PHP (server side) we can include files stored in module directory : "require_once( 'modules/something.php' );"

What can we do on client side if JS source file getting bigger and bigger.
Can we use dojo to create a module ?

My file is near 1000 lines long (and it's only the beginning), for diceforce it's near 5000 !

Thanks.

You put the in modules too, see example here
https://github.com/elaskavaia/bga-sharedcode

This is sample project it has another js defined
https://github.com/elaskavaia/bga-share ... dparent.js

This has bunch of globals it also defines a class bgagame.sharedparent which I use as parent in my game
like this

Code: Select all

define([ "dojo", "dojo/_base/declare", "ebg/core/gamegui", "ebg/counter",
    // load my own module!!!
    g_gamethemeurl + "modules/sharedparent.js" ], function(dojo,
        declare) {
    return declare("bgagame.mygame", bgagame.sharedparent, {

Thanks great !

I already tried this but I dont' use "g_gamethemeurl" ( I did not know it existed), so module not found error !

I am late for this, but I have just registered

You can include your own scripts like this:

Code: Select all

define([
  "dojo","dojo/_base/declare",
  "bgagame/modules/yourinclude",
    "ebg/core/gamegui",
    "ebg/counter"
],
function (dojo, declare, yourinclude) {
});

Note the third input parameter "yourinclude" beside dojo and declare.

You put yourinclude.js in your modules directory.

yourinclude.js should look like this:

Code: Select all

define([], function() {
	return "TEST";
});

In the array you can define further dependencies, for example "ebg/stock".
The return value of the function is then the value of the third input parameter as defined above.
Of course it does not has to be an string, it can be an array, an object, an function, something you declared with dojo declare and so on.

This way you can easily structure your javascript files and include them in the main game javascript file.

yourinclude.js should look like this:
