- Module System for JavaScript 🎉
Currently:
- Bunch of parts to construct a complex
- jQuery, eg:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> $( "button.continue" ).html( "Next Step..." )- Use webpack to bundle multiple files into 1 file
Native ES Modules:
- Defer by default (doesnt block html parser by default)
- Modules are fetched with CORS, so follow same security rules
- Can use nomodule for fallback on other browsers:
<script nomodule src="fallback.js"></script>
Can we use it?
- Some browsers are playing catch up and there is some variations between browsers that needs to be sorted out
- Still need to use tools like webpack for optimisations
