require([dependencies,] callback)
|
Method Description |
Function used to load a module only when the module is needed. When NetSuite executes the require function, it executes the callback function specified in the require function and loads the dependencies when they are required. If you add a module as a dependency and the module is never used, the dependency is never loaded.
Note:
This function conforms to the Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) specification. For more information, see require Function. |

Syntax
The following example shows progressive loading of modules in a script using the require function.
define({
newInstance: function (type)
{
switch (type)
{
case 'lib1' :
require(['/lib1'], function (lib1) // Module Loader loads lib1
{
return new lib1();
})
break;
case 'lib2' :
require(['/lib2'], function (lib2) // Module Loader loads lib2
{
return new lib2();
})
break;
default :
return null;
}
}
});
