running script with packages

[guy1ziv2]

Is it possible to run a script that has a package e.g.

var g = require('users/gene/packages:geometry') ?

I tried to run on a linux by

1. git cloning my javascript files
2. git cloning the packages into a directory called users/gene/packages

but this still reports an error. Any ideas?

Only with some small modifications, because EE does not use standards when including packages via require(). You can put all packages in a separate folder, e.g. ./packages/, and then include as:

var g = require('./packages/geometry')

To keep code organized - is there a way to check in the script if it runs under ee-runner or inside the Code Editor (I am cloning the scripts from googlesource.com every update). Maybe something like

if (running_on_ee_runner) {
    var g = require('./packages/geometry')
} else {
    var g = require('users/gene/packages:geometry')
}

... hmm, you can probably try this:

function isCommandLine() {
  try { 
    commandLine 
  }
  catch(e) {
      if(e.name == "ReferenceError") {
          return false;
      }
  }

  return true
}

print(isCommandLine())

This should return true in ee-runner and false in Code Editor

This is great, thanks!

It ended up a tiny bit more complex, because how Code Editor is looking at require(). A working script goes like this:

if (isCommandLine()) { var filename = '../packages/viewshed' var pkg = require(filename) } else { var pkg = require('users/guy1ziv2/packages:viewshed') }
