Javascript import command

Does it matter where require is put within a file? This is using duktape to use js function in my android app.

For Example:

some javascript code
var calc = require('calculate')

Then call calc.calculate

I normally would declare calc first such as

var calc = require('calculate')
some javascript code

Does this make any difference in JS??

Solution

  • require is a function, you can call it anywhere within your JavaScript file.

    It's typically used at the top of a file because it's useful to see the file's dependencies all in one place, but it's not necessary.

    Note that require has very different semantics than JavaScript's own import, and import(), which will eventually replace require.
