Ant.js

A Promise module loader.

Usage

Ant.js loads modules and calls a defined constructor function based on a simple configuration.

Example:

ant.load({
  module1: {
    module: 'module_file1',
    entry: 'function_name',
    arguments: ['argument1', 'argument2'],
    dependency: ['module2']
  },
  module2: 'module_file2'
}, context);

Configuration

• key: module name
• value: filename or extended configuration
  • module: filename
  • entry: alternative constructor function (sub property of module.exports)
  • arguments: an array of arguments for the constructor function
  • dependency: string or array that contains the module name(s) of the dependencies

Context

Optional the second parameter of ant.load can be used to set the context for the constructor function call.

Global Settings

Module Path

ant.path can be used to defined a lookup path for modules.

Debug Messages
