JavaScript Include

JavaScript Include is a simple script for including scripts on the fly. It relies on XMLHttpRequest and eval() to load scripts as soon as they’re requested.

JavaScript Include uses a very simple module pattern to package scripts as self-contained modules. It includes a function called namespace(), which is inspired by the YUI namespace function. JavaScript Include itself is written in its module pattern, and there is also an example provided at src/example.js.

JavaScript Include always evaluates scripts in an anonymous scope, so the module must use either the namespace() function or make a window reference to make functions visible to other scripts.

Organization

The source code for JavaScript Include is located in src/js/include.js. A minified version is also supplied.

An example module is located at src/example.js. You can ensure that it works by opening src/example.html.
