The Problem

AMD (Require.js)

ES6 Modules
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export var red =
function() { $('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js import * as app from './module'; app.red();
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export var red =
function() { $('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js import * as app from './module'; app.red();
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export var red =
function() { $('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js import * as app from './module'; app.red();
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export var red =
function() { $('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js import * as app from './module'; app.red();
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export var red =
function() { $('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js import {red} from './module'; red();
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export default function() {
$('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js import red from './module'; red();
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export default function() {
$('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js import red from './module'; red();
Static
don't have to run code to know exports static lookups
visibility of variables circular dependencies ready for types (!)
async or sync
static imports = can resolve before evaluation of module
it just…works?
Module API
// module.js import $ from './jquery'; export var red =
function() { $('p').css('color', red'); } // app.js System.import('./module') .then(function(mod) { mod.red(); });
Module Config (hooks)

But what about now?
None
system.js traceur.js es6-module-loader.js
// index.html <script src="lib/system.js"></ script> <script> System.import('./app'); </script> // app.js
alert('hello world');
// index.html <script src="lib/system.js"></ script> <script> System.import('./app'); </script> // app.js
alert('hello world');
// index.html <script src="lib/system.js"></ script> <script> System.import('./app'); </script> // app.js
alert('hello world');
// index.html <script src="lib/system.js"></script> <script> System.import(‘./app’) .catch( console.error.bind(console) ); </script>
… <body><p>Hello World</p></body>
// red.js import $ from 'jquery' export default function() {
$('p').css('color', 'red'); };
// red.js import $ from 'jquery' export default function() {
$('p').css('color', 'red'); };
// red.js import $ from 'jquery' export default function() {
$('p').css('color', 'red'); };
// app.js import $ from 'jquery' import red from './red'
$(function() { red(); });

jspm.io
Demo!
// index.html <script src='//jspm.io/system.js'> </script> <script> System.import('~/app'); </script>
// index.html <script src='//jspm.io/system.js'> </script> <script> System.import('~/app'); </script>
npm install --global jspm
jspm install npm:lodash jspm install github:components/ jquery
// app.js import $ from 'npm:jquery'; console.log($.fn.jquery) // 2.1.1
this is the best solution right now
jspm bundle app
// built.html <script src='system.js'></script> <script src='config.js'></script> <script src='build.js'></script> <script> System.import('app');
</script>
it just…works?
