importing external js modules

[blurymind]

Is it possible to require or import library js files? If so, how?

[shalithasuranga]

Yes. you can use any client side js libraries with Neutralino. Place your js source files to app/assets and import to html
eg:-

<script src="/assets/app.js"></script>

But since there is no node runtime, node packages with require cannot be used.

Is there any way to use node modules in neutralinojs ;

[pegvin]

you need to understand how this works, modules in node_modules folder are useless for NeutralinoJs or Any other browsers because nodejs knows how to resolve those modules, but the browser doesn't know it.

For Example assume you have a module xyz installed and it's in the node_modules folder, when you require('xyz') nodejs uses it's module resolution algorithm to find that module in the node_modules folder but browsers or neutralinojs or even electron isn't built that way, they don't know where the module xyz is.

So For this purpose we use module bundlers, the main work of a module bundler is take a javascript file, resolve all the modules and put them in that file (also known as a bundle).
