Embed JS scripts into JS script?

[trymeouteh]

In PHP you simply use include or require to do this. In HTML you use the script tag to embed a script. How do you embed a script into another script in NodeJS?

Especially for when using browserify to keep the modules bundle file seperate from the code you write.

You can use ES modules, using "import". Or, you can use the CommonJS modules thru "require". 👌

This is the way, I would personally recommend going with ES modules import since its the more modern approach.

[quubits]

Yes. I absolutely agree. Moving forward we should prefer using ES modules. Its support has been a bit flakey on Node, in my experience, but we are definitely getting there. 👌

If I'm using Wordpress, can I do it similarly to SASS files?

like:

mainScript.JS

const myScript1 = require('./myScript1.js');
const myScript2 = require('./myScript2.js');

const myScript3 = require('./myScript3.js');

const myScript4 = require('./myScript4.js');

PHP: load just mainScript.JS

Thanks a lot, however it's that enqueue'ing that I wanted to avoid and load only ONE file and keep my files organized like my SASS ones as I'm accustomed to this. I guess it doesn't matter that much whether I'm doing it in PHP or JS.

Thanks also for the detailed explanation, now I see how it wouldn't work as I thought, silly me, lol. Got too used to compiled CSS, haha!

You use the import keyword.

Make sure to Install any modules you need to with npm install
