VSCode Loader

An universal Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) Loader developed primarily to load VSCode's sources.

Supported environments

• Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari
• nodejs
• electron (renderer & browser processes) In nodejs and electron, when loading a module, if it cannot be found with the AMD rules, it delegates loading them to the native require.

Features

• Runs factory methods as soon as dependencies are resolved.

Using

• In a browser environment:

<script type="text/javascript" src="loader.js"></script>
<script>
	require.config({
		// ...
	});
	require(['an/amd/module'], function(value) {
		// code is loaded here
	});
</script>

• In a node environment:

var loader = require('loader');
loader.config({
	// ...
});
loader(['an/amd/module'], function(value) {
	// code is loaded here
});

• Supported config options:
• baseUrl - The prefix that will be aplied to all modules when they are resolved to a location
• paths - Redirect rules for modules. The redirect rules will affect the module ids themselves
• config - Per-module configuration
• catchError - Catch errors when invoking the module factories
• recordStats - Record statistics
• urlArgs - The suffix that will be aplied to all modules when they are resolved to a location
• onError - Callback that will be called when errors are encountered
• ignoreDuplicateModules - The loader will issue warnings when duplicate modules are encountered. This list will inhibit those warnings if duplicate modules are expected.
• isBuild - Flag to indicate if current execution is as part of a build.
• cspNonce - Allows setting a Content Security Policy nonce value on script tags created by the loader.
• nodeRequire - The main entry point node's require
• nodeInstrumenter - An optional transformation applied to the source before it is loaded in node's vm

Custom features

• Recording loading statistics for detailed script loading times:

require.config({
	recordStats: true
});
// ...
console.log(require.getRecorder().getEvents());

• Extracting loading metadata for a bundler:

var loader = require('loader');
loader.config({
	isBuild: true
});
// ...
console.log(loader.getBuildInfo());

Testing

To run the tests:

• code loading in node: npm run test
• amd spec tests, unit tests & code loading in browser:
  • npm run simpleserver
  • open http://localhost:9999/tests/run-tests.htm

The project uses as a submodule the AMD compliance tests. The goal is to support as many tests without adding eval() or an equivalent. It is also not a goal to support loading CommonJS code:

• Basic AMD Functionality (basic)
• The Basic require() Method (require)
• Anonymous Module Support (anon)
• CommonJS Compatibility (funcString)
• CommonJS Compatibility with Named Modules (namedWrap)
• AMD Loader Plugins (plugins)
• Dynamic Plugins (pluginsDynamic)
• Common Config: Packages
• Common Config: Map
• Common Config: Module
• Common Config: Path
• Common Config: Shim

Developing

• Clone the repository
• Run git submodule init
• Run git submodule update
• Run npm install
• Compile in the background with npm run watch1 and npm run watch2
