Javascript add js libraries by code

Question

I\'m trying to split my long JavaScript code into different libraries.

I\'m trying to write a wrapper script that will load all my libraries:

//this

You would need to use the onreadystatechange handler to ensure that they are loaded in the order required.

//this file loads all the scripts to the page

$(document).ready(function () {
    var fileName = getCurrentFileName();
    loadScript("scripts/pico/popups.js");
    loadScript("scripts/pico/effects.js");
    loadScript("scripts/pico/pico.js",function(){
        loadScript("scripts/pico/facebook.js");
        if (fileName != null) loadScript("script/pico/" + fileName + ".js");
    });
});

/**
 * Load a script to the body element
 * @param name the name of script file.js
 */
function loadScript(name,callback) {
    // Adding the script tag to the body
    var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.onreadystatechange = function(){
        if (script.readyState === "complete" && $.isFunction(callback)) {
            callback();
        }
    }
    script.type = 'text/javascript';
    script.src = name;
    // Fire the loading
    body.appendChild(script);
}

Since jQuery is already included, it's even easier.

//this file loads all the scripts to the page

var fileName = getCurrentFileName();
$.getScript("scripts/pico/popups.js");
$.getScript("scripts/pico/effects.js");
$.getScript("scripts/pico/pico.js",function(){
    $.getScript("scripts/pico/facebook.js");
    if (fileName != null) $.getScript("script/pico/" + fileName + ".js");
});
