#Node JS Loader (client-side)
This is a web-service which will serve your JS files for you. It does a few spiffy things:
- Concatenate a set of JS files on-the-fly so you only download one file
- Automatically resolve dependencies
This allows you to accomplish the following objectives:
- Keep JS tidy in as many separate files as you want without peformance concerns
- Get the benefit of concatenated JS without having to constantly update the concatenated files
- Get the benefit of dependency resolution, like you would with any other language (if a.js depends on b.js, you only need to ask for a.js)
This app is written in node.js, but is really not for node.js. You can use it for any web project. It is for clinet-side javascript, not server-side.
#Installation
npm install js-loader@latest
#Synopsis
Run the server
jsloader /home/dmcquay/myproject/js
Request your files
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://js.mysite.com/a.js,b.js,c.js"></script>
And if the first line of c.js looks like this:
//require d.js
Then d.js will be included in the output.
