#lynx: requireModule() static method

Used to import modules. Just like NodeJS's require.

requireModule will load the module synchronously. During the loading, the JavaScript thread will be hang. No JavaScript code will be executed.

#Syntax

requireModule<T>(path: string): T;

#Parameters

#path

The path of the module. Can be a remote path, or a path inside the template.

#Return Value

The exported value of the module.

#Exception

requireModule will throw an exception when:

• Network error
• Module execute error
• Timeout

The error can be catch and handled by using try-catch.

#Timeout

To avoid JavaScript thread hang forever when loading remote resources, requireModule will throw an exception 5 seconds after the request is sent.

#Examples

#Loading remote resources

const foo = lynx.requireModule('https://example.com/path/to/chunk');

#Re-try on timeout

let result = null;
(function () {
  let retry = 0;
  function requireModule(path) {
    try {
      result = lynx.requireModule(path);
    } catch (error) {
      retry += 1;
      if (retry < 3) {
        requireModule(path);
      } else {
        throw error;
      }
    }
  }
  requireModule('path/to/chunk');
})();
