Another way to work with several files in JavaScript
Let's make a simple loader for organize our code .
For example, you can split a catalog app in 3 views:
- views/index
- views/catalog
- views/product
Have pairs of .js and .html files for each view.
- views/index/index.js
- views/index/index.html
- views/catalog/catalog.js
- views/catalog/catalog.html
- views/product/product.js
- views/product/product.html
And then use a function to include each module:
var include = function(module, callback) {
var d = document,
js = module + ".js",
html = module + ".html",
loadJS = function(htmlResponse) {
$.ajax({
url: "views/" + js,
success: function(response) {
var script = d.createElement("script");
script.innerHTML = response;
d.head.appendChild(script);
if (typeof callback === "function") {
callback(htmlResponse);
}
}
});
};
$.ajax({
url: "views/" + html,
success: loadJS
});
};
include(index, function(html) {
$("#main").html(html);
});
For a more advanced approach, use RequiereJS (http://requirejs.org/).
