jN-npp-cjs-require

Build commonjs require function.

The require function provided by this library is not compatible with jN's builtin require. cjs-require introduce a module scope just like Node.js. So:

1. Variables defined through var are defined in module scope instead of global.
2. Each module has its own require function instead of sharing a global require.
3. Based on (2), it is possible to do relative-require (require(./foo)).
4. All cjs-require functions share the same module cache, but not with jN's builtin require.

Usage example

jN/includes/my-script.js

// inject cjsRequireFactory to global
require("includes/cjs-require.js");

(function() {
  // get the require function
  var require = cjsRequireFactory(Editor.nppDir + "/plugins/jN/includes/my-script.js");
  
  // now just require any cjs module
  var test = require("./cjs-modules/test");
  test();
})();

jN/includes/cjs-modules/test.js

module.exports = function() {
  alert("Test function is called");
};

API

This library define one function in the global scope.
