Because fuck dedicated module patterns, module loaders, compilers and other kind of pointless code bloat that requires me to wrap my client-side JavaScript for server usage.
People need to understand that the Node.js module system is nothing more then a
vm that reads our a pre-defined module variable. We don't need to be stuck
in this pattern, we can just get all the globals that are introduced while we
load the script and tada, we're running the snippet on the server.
Load is available in npm so you can install it by running:
npm --save load
var load = require('load');
// file.js contents:
//
// function test() { return 'test' };
//
// Only one global exported, automatically exposes the function by default.
var test = load('file.js');
// file2.js contents:
//
// function test() {}
// function test1() {}
//
var library = load('file2');
console.log(library.test);
console.log(library.test1);
var moo = load.compiler('function cow() { console.log("moo") }', 'moo.js');
moo(); // console.log('moo');
// And that it.
