I don’t lie about programming languages.īut now we get to the fun part of this system.Selecting the right technology for developing an application or website is becoming more challenging. See? I told you the answer was “nothing”. By this time, import processing is already finished, so when execution reaches a line of code where there’s an import declaration… nothing happens! Run time: Finally, the implementation runs the statements in the body of each newly-loaded module. And that’s too bad, because you were so close to actually running some JS code.
(but she didn't use modules, because it was 2013)Įxport function detectCats(canvas, options) from "paleo", but the “paleo” module doesn’t actually export anything named cake, you’ll get an error. ( Heather Arthur wrote this library for real) kittydar.js - Find the locations of all the cats in an image. The simplest way is to add the export keyword. If you want something declared in a module to be public, so that other modules can use it, you must export that feature. Everything declared inside a module is local to the module, by default. You can use import and export in modules. There are two differences.ĮS6 modules are automatically strict-mode code, even if you don’t write "use strict" in them. There’s no special module keyword a module mostly reads just like a script. Module basicsĪn ES6 module is a file containing JS code.
But first, let’s just dive in and see what ES6 modules look like. Well, today we’ll see whether ES6 adds anything to these existing systems, and whether or not future standards and tools will be able to build on it. You might think ES6, with its new module syntax, is a little late to the party. There are also several package managers, tools for installing all that software and coping with high-level dependencies. So naturally, JavaScript has a module system. One of the most basic things you need is a module system, a way to spread your work across multiple files and directories-but still make sure all your bits of code can access one another as needed-but also be able to load all that code efficiently. JavaScript projects have grown to jaw-dropping sizes, and the community has developed tools for working at scale. Not long before that, the predominant use of JavaScript had been form validation, and sure enough, your average handler would be… one line of code. This was two years after Google Maps launched. When I started on Mozilla’s JavaScript team back in 2007, the joke was that the length of a typical JavaScript program was one line. ES6 In Depth is a series on new features being added to the JavaScript programming language in the 6th Edition of the ECMAScript standard, ES6 for short.
