I’m going to build a rather complicated application in html5 with some heavy javascripting.
In this I need to make some objects which can be pass around. But since there is no like @import foobar.js.
Then I assume that if my html page loads the scripts, then all the scripts can access eachother?
I read (here) that ajax somehow is able to load a .js file from within another .js file. But i dont think this is what I need?
Can go more into details if needed, thanks in advance.
You should check out the module pattern:
http://www.adequatelygood.com/2010/3/JavaScript-Module-Pattern-In-Depth/
This describes alternatives for creating modular code in javascript, how you can protect your code and share APIs and data among them.
You should also consider using and AMD. Require.js is quite popular, but I tend to prefer head.js for this. Keep in mind that these put some requirements on how you structur your code in files, and personally, I don’t think it’s worth it, compared to a concatenated and minified file included in the bottom of the page.
