Can I load a custom module "codemirrorutils" as $tw.codemirrorutils?

Hello,

I have some utility functions for my codemirror 6 plugin and I’d like to export them at the $tw.codemirrorutils namespace

I tried but couldn’t figure out how to do that

Does anybody know the solution?

I guess it must be done in a startup module?

Edit:

The header looks like this:

/*\
title: $:/plugins/BTC/tiddlywiki-codemirror-6/lib/codemirror-utils.js
type: application/javascript
module-type: codemirrorutils

\*/

you can see, the module-type is “codemirrorutils”

Thank you in advance,
Simon

I found a solution!

I need to require the utils module before the “load-modules” startup module

just for the record, my startup module now looks like this:


/*\
title: $:/plugins/BTC/tiddlywiki-codemirror-6/startup/load-modules.js
type: application/javascript
module-type: startup

Load codemirror modules

\*/

(function(){

/*jslint node: true, browser: true */
/*global $tw: false */
"use strict";

$tw.codemirrorutils = Object.create(null);

// Export name and synchronous status
exports.name = "load-codemirror-utils";
exports.synchronous = true;
exports.before = ["load-modules"];

exports.startup = function() {
	// Load modules
	$tw.modules.applyMethods("codemirrorutils",$tw.codemirrorutils);
};

})();

Why not $tw.utils.codemirror.xxx?

But if you are using a bundler, you can just import them across files, and not exporting them. Just like https://github.com/tiddly-gittly/watch-fs/blob/master/src/watch-fs/utils.ts , I just import them, and bundle everything into a single .js

Good question! I didn’t think about it too much :slight_smile:
