Synopsis

Includes a JS file in Node.JS that isn't a node module and wraps its outcome in a namespace.

Code Example

Return the script namespace to a new variable:

var jsInclude = require('js-include');
var namespace = jsInclude('./includeFile.js');
namespace.innerFunction('hello world');

Use multiple script files in a single namespace:

var jsInclude = require('js-include');
var namespace = jsInclude([
    './file1.js',
    './file2.js',
    '../../otherFile.js',
    'dir/file3.js'
]);

Provide an object to hold the namespace:

var jsInclude = require('js-include');

var namespace = {};
jsInclude(['file1.js', 'file2.js'], namespace);

namespace.innerFunction('hello world');

Motivation

Initially this was created to use Apache Thrift generated JS files in a small test environment, without generating dedicated Node.JS files.

Installation

npm install js-include

API Reference

require('js-include') returns a function that can accept two arguments:

1st argument: string or string[] List of files to execute.

2nd argument (optional): object A simple object to be used as a namespace
