Module Access #51

Open justin0mcateer opened 3 years ago

What is the current expectation around module functionality? I don't seem to be able to utilize the in-build QuickJS modules like 'console' or 'std'. Am I doing something wrong, are these expected to be available?

If I try to load external modules, I get the following error: _quickjs.JSException: ReferenceError: could not load module

PetterS commented 3 years ago

No they are not available at all.

I have a couple of PRs (#21, #22) that have experimented with adding support for modules in different ways.

What you can do now is to expose Python functions to the JS code.

justin0mcateer commented 3 years ago

I saw those PRs. Are they usable at all? One approach appears to primarily lean on additional C code from the QuickJS project. Can you comment on which approach might be the best way forward and what remains to be done to make it useful?

21 should make built-in QuickJS modules available.

But I don't really want to make them available. I am more interested in being able to parse and import JS modules.
