For completeness I should mention that there's of course a built-in way to have multiple source files. To import "foo.js", use "const Foo = imports.foo;", and to import "subdir/bar.js" use "const Bar = imports.subdir.bar;"
To set the search path for modules, use "imports.searchPath" which is an array so you can push() or unshift() extra entries onto it. The "imports.package" module simplifies the process of setting up the search path a bit. Unfortunately it's not well documented but you can take a look at how other apps, e.g. gnome-sound-recorder, use it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-sound-recorder/blob/master/src/org.gnome.SoundRecorder.in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-sound-recorder/blob/master/src/main.js Support for ES6 modules and the "import" keyword is in progress, follow along here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/merge_requests/150 Best regards, Philip On Fri, Nov 9, 2018, 11:45 , <makep...@firemail.cc> wrote: > See also https://github.com/makepost/gunit for a test runner, and > https://github.com/sammydre/ts-for-gjs for autocomplete and type > checking.
