Including a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file

Question

I am a newbie in developing JavaScript libraries. I've a basic doubt on how to include a js file into another js file that is dependent on the former. For example, I'm building a javascript library that replicates the class structures present in the Server code.There are cases for example, where class B is contained in class A. I want to make a seperate js file to denote class B and then include this in the definition of class A. How do I go about this ?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks!

• SLaks: It depends how you're serving your JS. Consider using Browserify.

Answer 1

You can define a function in b.js which returns B class (function) and call it inside class A

b.js
getClassB function (){
 //define your B class here and return it at the end
 return B;
}
a.js
class/function A(){
 var B = getClassB();
}

Answer 2

If you are using it in html page, simply import class A file first and then class B file like

<script src="path_to_class_a_file"></script>
<script src="path_to_class_b_file"></script>

• vardhinisuresh27: ljaz : Thanks! But I want to import class just class A in my HTML page and want the visibility of code of class Bcontained within class A. Also I want to use the class structure of class B in the implementation of class A!
