ES6: import many files

Question

I have a script that imports a lot of AMD modules and calls an initialization method on each one:

define([\'underscore\', \'./mod0\', ..., \'./modN\'], funct         


        

Answer 1

Is it possible to import modules from a list?

No, not without explicitly invoking your module loader (whichever that is). There is no way to do this using import declarations.

Any advice on how this can be accomplished?

eval could probably do it :-)

I would recommend using two modules:

// index.js
export mod0 from './mod0';
…
export modN from './modN';

// init-all.js
import * as modules from './index'; // enumerable namespace

for (var moduleIdentifier in modules)
    init(modules[moduleIdentifier]);

You could potentially do the same with only a single module (that imports itself as a module namespace object), but that surely would be real insanity.
