How to include js file in another js file?
Suppose I have a few JavaScript source files: a.js, a1.js, and a2.js. Functions of a.js invoke functions from a1.js and a2.js.
Now I have to declare all these files in my HTML page. I would like to declare only a.js in the HTML and "import/include" a1.js, and a2.js in the a.js source file.
Does it make sense? Can I do that in JavaScript?
You can't specify imports in vanilla javascript.
So your solutions (excluding heavy server side frameworks) are :
simply do the imports
concatenate your js files (and minify them in the same move, for exemple using the closure compiler)
use a module itool like require.js
As long as you're not experienced, and if your number of files is low (less than 15), I recommend to simply choose the first or second solution. Using a module loader may have side effects you don't want to debug when beginning to learn javascript.
