<h2 id="module-loading">Module Loading</h2>

<p><i>This section is non-normative.</i></p>

<h3 id="intro">Introduction</h3>

Throughout their development, JavaScript modules have been divided into two general areas:

<ul>
<li>The <b>authoring format</b>, which defines the importing and exporting syntax, as well as the semantics for variable bindings and cycles.
<li>The <b>JavaScript Loader</b>, which provides a pipeline for on-demand, asynchronous loading of JavaScript modules.
</ul>

The authoring format was carefully designed to support pre-compilation (like Browserify) and on-demand asynchronous loading (like AMD). It defines the minimal syntax necessary to allow people to write portable modules that can work across different platforms, most notably Node.js and web browsers.

The JavaScript Loader allows host environments, like Node.js and browsers, to fetch and load modules on demand. It provides a hookable pipeline, to allow front-end packaging solutions like Browserify, WebPack and jspm to hook into the loading process.

This division provides a single format that developers can use in all JavaScript environments, and a separate loading mechanism for each environment. For example, a Node Loader would load its modules from the file system, using its own module lookup algorithm, while a Browser Loader would fetch modules and use browser-supplied packaging formats.

JavaScript itself, in ECMAScript 2015, defines the module syntax and the "linking semantics" between modules. When a module is requested, it delegates responsibility for loading the module to the host environment. The Loader defines how host environments can allow JavaScript code to configure that process.

The primary goal is to make as much of this process as possible consistent between Node and Browser environments. For example, if a JavaScript program wants to translate <code>.coffee</code> files to JavaScript on the fly, the Loader defines a "translate" hook that can be used. This allows programs to participate in the loading process, even though some details (specifically, the process of getting a particular module from its host-defined storage) will be different between environments.

<h3 id="well-known-symbols">Well-Known Symbols</h3>

Well-known symbols are built-in Symbol values that are explicitly referenced by algorithms of this specification. They are typically used as the keys of properties whose values serve as extension points of a specification algorithm.

Within this specification a well-known symbol is referred to by using a notation of the form @@<i>name</i>, where "<i>name</i>" is one of the values listed in table below:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Specification Name</th>
      <th>\[[Description]]</th>
      <th>Value and Purpose</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tr>
    <td>@@resolve</td>
    <td>"Reflect.Loader.resolve"</td>
    <td>A function valued property that is the resolve hook function of loader’s instances.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>@@fetch</td>
    <td>"Reflect.Loader.fetch"</td>
    <td>A function valued property that is the fetch hook function of loader’s instances.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>@@translate</td>
    <td>"Reflect.Loader.translate"</td>
    <td>A function valued property that is the translate hook function of loader’s instances.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>@@instantiate</td>
    <td>"Reflect.Loader.instantiate"</td>
    <td>A function valued property that is the instantiate hook function of loader’s instances.</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<h3 id="well-known-intrinsic-objects">Well-Known Intrinsic Objects</h3>

Well-known intrinsics are built-in objects that are explicitly referenced by the algorithms of this specification and which usually have realm-specific identities. Unless otherwise specified each intrinsic object actually corresponds to a set of similar objects, one per realm.

Within this specification a reference such as %<i>name</i>% means the intrinsic object, associated with the current realm, corresponding to the <i>name</i>. Determination of the current realm and its intrinsics is described in ES2015, 8.3.

<h3 id="promises">Promises</h3>

This spec makes heavy use of promises, and adopts the notational conventions established in the promises guide.

<h4 id="reacting-to-promises">Reacting to Promises</h4>

<b><i>Transforming</i> p <i>with a new pass-through promise</i></b> is a shorthand for wrapping the promise to avoid exposing the original promise. It represents the following step:

<emu-alg>
1. Transforming _p_ with a fulfillment handler that, when called with argument _value_, returns _value_.
</emu-alg>

<h3 id="shorthand-phrases">Shorthand Phrases</h3>

<h4 id="reject-if-abrupt" aoid="RejectIfAbrupt">RejectIfAbrupt(x)</h4>

Algorithm steps that say

<emu-alg>
1. RejectIfAbrupt(_x_).
</emu-alg>

mean the same thing as:

<emu-alg>
1. If _x_ is an abrupt completion, return a promise rejected with _x_.[[Value]].
1. Else if _x_ is a Completion Record, then let _x_ be _x_.[[Value]].
</emu-alg>

<h3 id="common-operations">Common Operations</h3>

<h4 id="create-object" aoid="CreateObject">CreateObject()</h4>

<emu-alg>
1. Let _obj_ be ObjectCreate(%ObjectPrototype%).
1. Return _obj_.
</emu-alg>

<h4 id="simple-define" aoid="SimpleDefine">SimpleDefine(obj, name, value)</h4>

<emu-alg>
1. Let _desc_ be a new PropertyDescriptor record {[[Value]]: _value_, [[Writable]]: *true*, [[Enumerable]]: *true*, [[Configurable]]: *true*}.
1. Return ? OrdinaryDefineOwnProperty(_obj_, _name_, _desc_).
</emu-alg>

<h3 id="common-operations">Built-in Function Objects</h3>

We follow the ECMA-262 <a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/index.html#sec-built-in-function-objects">convention for built-in function objects</a> in which the value of NewTarget in each function argument is <b>**undefined**</b> for \[[Call]] and the <i>newTarget</i> parameter for \[[Construct]].

<h2 id="loader-objects">Loader Objects</h2>

<h3 id="loader-constructor">The Loader Constructor</h3>

The Loader constructor is the %Loader% intrinsic object and the initial value of the <b>Loader</b> property of the Reflect object. When called as a constructor it creates and initializes a new Loader object. When <b>Loader</b> is called as a function rather than as a constructor, it throws an exception.

The <b>Loader</b> constructor is designed to be subclassable. It may be used as the value of an <b>extends</b> clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified <b>Loader</b> behaviour must include a <b>super</b> call to the <b>Loader</b> constructor to create and initialize the subclass instance with the corresponding internal slots.

<h4 id="new-loader">Loader()</h4>

When Loader is called with no arguments, the following steps are taken:

<emu-alg>
1. If NewTarget is *undefined*, then throw a *TypeError* exception.
1. Let _O_ be ? OrdinaryCreateFromConstructor(NewTarget, "%LoaderPrototype%", «[[Realm]], [[Registry]]»).
1. Set _O_’s [[Realm]] internal slot to current Realm Record.
1. Set _O_’s [[Registry]] internal slot to CreateRegistry().

The Module constructor is the initial value of the Module property of the Reflect object. When called as a constructor it creates and initializes a new Module object. Module is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.

The Module constructor is designed to be subclassable. It may be used as the value in an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified Module behaviour must include a super call to the Module constructor to create and initialize the subclass instance with the internal stage necessary to integrate with loaders.
