A simple JavaScript library that brings support of CommonJS modules to the browser.
You can simply require() modules and they will be synchronously loaded, interpreted and exported.
No compilation is needed, this is completely a runtime solution.
The library uses a synchronous XMLHttpRequest with interpretation using the eval() statement.
Of course this is a little bit slower, but for debugging purposes it does its job well.
point.js
module.exports = function(x, y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
};
module.exports.prototype.showCoords = function(){
alert(this.x + " : " + this.y);
};
main.js
var Point = require("./point");
var p = new Point(1, 5);
p.showCoords(); // This will display "1 : 5"
