Question

Does anyone have a working example of importing a local file as a module in Akshell?

I’ve uploaded DOMBuilder.js to my Akshell app, which according to the documentation should be compatible with the way Akshell’s modules work, but I just get an empty Object back when I use require('./DOMBuilder') in the Eval shell, while attempting to use it in a view function or template just gives me “Internal Application Error” with no stack trace.

Jonathan, I’ve ported your library to Akshell 0.2: DOMBuilder.js. In Akshell 0.3 you should just use require('ak') as a first line.

The main problem was in the line 970:

module.exports = DOMBuilder;

You can’t substitute the exports object, you should put properties on it.
