slashable-import-pmb v0.1.0

slashable-import-pmb

Dynamically import modules as resolved from current directory. On failure, retry with some default filenames appended.

API

This module ESM-exports one function:

configureSlashableImport(opt)

Returns a function slashableImport(id) that returns Promises for attempts to import the module named id.

opts is an optional options object that supports these keys:

• base: Which perspective to use when searching. Should be either…
  • a false-y value (default: empty string) to use the current working directory,
  • or a directory path as a string,
  • or an object with a filename or url property (e.g. your module's module object or import.meta), in which case its containing directory will be used.
• ext: An array of filename extensions to use for the search. Default: ['.mjs', '.jsm', '.js']
• suf: An array of what suffixes to retry with if the original ID couldn't be resolved verbatim and it ends with a slash (/). Special effects: Any occurrence of \n is replaced with the basename of the ID. Default: ['__main__', '\n']
• expo: Name of the export identifier to import. Default: 'default'

Known issues

• Needs more/better tests and docs.
