[X3D-Public] Fwd: [X3D] Comment: need ability to import separate Javascript source library into embedded X3D Script code

[Holger Seelig]

This is indeed a missing feature. One way is to define a new function like "require" to import external JavaScript libraries:

require ("http://example.com/script.js", "../script.js");

For consistency it should can handle multiple URLs.

</div>Comments on this issue welcome.  Seems like a big omission if indeed there is no way for an author to load an external Javascript library into a Script node internal to an X3D scene.

Comment on 19777-1: JavaScript Binding - V3.3
4 Concepts
http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19777-1/V3.0/Part1/concepts.html

-----------------
No method currently exists to import source for an external Javascript
library into an embedded X3D Script node.

The ECMAScript specification reserves keywords "import export" but does not
define functionality.
http://www.web3d.org/specifications/Ecma-262.pdf

HTML supports multiple javascript libraries in the web page via the  element.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/scripts.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/scripting-1.html

X3D needs a similar mechanism where an X3D Script author can use/reuse an
external Javascript library.
