Is there a way to parametise which modules to load in Dojo?


What I'm trying to achieve is something like this, but I'm not sure how to go about it:

define([
    // Load basic modules that are always used
], function (one, two, ...) {
    if (a) {
        // Load this extra module as "extraModule"
    }
    else {
        // Load that extra module as "extraModule"
    }
    // Be able to use functions from extraModule without worrying
    // exactly what they do
    extraModule.doTheThing();

Then the two options for extraModule would behave as though they were objects inheriting from the same abstract class.

Does anyone know if this is possible with Dojo?


Solution

  • I think the closest way to achieve this is by doing the following:

    define([ "one", "two", "extraModule1", "extraModule2" ], function(one, two, extra1, extra2) {
        var extra = null;
        if (a) {
            extra = extra1;
        } else {
            extra = extra2;
        }
    });
    

    So you just load both modules and pick the one you need afterwards.
