Readme
LoadJS is a tiny async loader for modern browsers (506 bytes).
LoadJS is a tiny async loading library for modern browsers (IE9+). It has a simple yet powerful dependency management system that lets you fetch files in parallel and execute code after the dependencies have been met. The recommended way to use LoadJS is to include the minified source code in your <html> and then use the loadjs
global to manage JavaScript dependencies after pageload.
LoadJS is based on the excellent $script library by Dustin Diaz. We kept the behavior of the library the same but we re-wrote the code from scratch to add support for success/failure callbacks and to optimize the library for modern browsers. LoadJS is 506 bytes (minified + gzipped).
Here's an example of what you can do with LoadJS:
// define a dependency bundle
loadjs(['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js'], 'foobar');
// execute code elsewhere when the bundle has loaded
loadjs.ready('foobar', function() {
// foo.js & bar.js loaded
});
The latest version of LoadJS can be found in the dist/
directory in this repository:
You can also use it as a CJS or AMD module:
$ npm install --save-dev loadjs
var loadjs = require('loadjs');
loadjs(['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js'], 'foobar');
loadjs.ready('foobar', function() {
// foo.js & bar.js loaded
});
// load a single file
loadjs('/path/to/foo.js', function() {
// foo.js loaded
});
// load multiple files (in parallel)
loadjs(['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js'], function() {
// foo.js & bar.js loaded
});
// load multiple files (in series)
loadjs('/path/to/foo.js', function() {
loadjs('/path/to/bar.js', function() {
// foo.js loaded then bar.js loaded
});
});
// add a bundle id
loadjs(['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js'], 'foobar', function() {
// foo.js & bar.js loaded
});
// add a failure callback
loadjs(['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js'],
'foobar',
function() { /* foo.js & bar.js loaded */ },
function(pathsNotFound) { /* at least one path didn't load */ });
// execute a callback after bundle finishes loading
loadjs(['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js'], 'foobar');
loadjs.ready('foobar', function() {
// foo.js & bar.js loaded
});
// .ready() can be chained together
loadjs('/path/to/foo.js', 'foo');
loadjs('/path/to/bar.js', 'bar');
loadjs
.ready('foo', function() {
// foo.js loaded
})
.ready('bar', function() {
// bar.js loaded
});
// compose more complex dependency lists
loadjs('/path/to/foo.js', 'foo');
loadjs('/path/to/bar.js', 'bar');
loadjs(['/path/to/thunkor.js', '/path/to/thunky.js'], 'thunk');
// wait for multiple depdendencies
loadjs.ready(['foo', 'bar', 'thunk'],
function() {
// foo.js & bar.js & thunkor.js & thunky.js loaded
},
function(depsNotFound) {
if (depsNotFound.indexOf('foo') > -1) {}; // foo failed
if (depsNotFound.indexOf('bar') > -1) {}; // bar failed
if (depsNotFound.indexOf('thunk') > -1) {}; // thunk failed
});
// use .done() for more control
loadjs.ready('my-awesome-plugin', function() {
myAwesomePlugin();
});
loadjs.ready('jquery', function() {
// plugin requires jquery
window.myAwesomePlugin = function() {
if (!window.jQuery) throw "jQuery is missing!";
};
// plugin is done loading
loadjs.done('my-awesome-plugin');
});

$ git clone git@github.com:muicss/loadjs.git
$ cd loadjs
$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/.bin/gulp examples:build
To view the examples you can use any static file server. To use the nodejs
http-server module:
$ npm install http-server
$ ./node_modules/.bin/http-server -p 3000
Then visit http://localhost:3000/examples
$ ./node_modules/.bin/gulp dist:build
The files will be located in the dist
directory.
To run the browser tests first build the loadjs
library:
$ ./node_modules/.bin/gulp test:build
Then visit http://localhost:3000/test
