Hi!
Can a JavaScript / ResourceLoader guru explain what's wrong with my code?
Module definitions at server side:
http://pastebin.com/8cmRbNxe
modules are loaded correctly by the following code:
http://pastebin.com/MFWk6znv
It is checked many times during extension development, 'localBasePath'
and 'remoteExtPath' is set up correctly.
* By default, the module with the following code is loaded:
http://pastebin.com/0u96aMep
Then it loads either 'ext.jqgmap.view' module or 'ext.jqgmap.edit'
module, depending on data provided in generated html page.
This is made for two reasons:
1. Editor code is larger and when the page does not need the editor, it
loads only viewer code, which is faster to load.
2. Editor modifies the mw.jqgmap.MapController.prototype.createEditor
and in the future may also introduce or modify more prototypes. This
makes code more modular.
However, I have very big problem loading 'ext.jqgmap.view' from
'ext.jqgmap.edit':
1.
mw.loader.using( 'ext.jqgmap.view', function() {
2.
console.log(mw.jqgmap);
When callback function is executed, Chrome console does not show
mw.jqgmap as being defined. So console.log(mw.jqgmap) returns
'undefined' and only when that happens, actual execution of
'ext.jqgmap.view' begins. It seems that ResourceLoader loads the code
wrapped into exception handler which tries to detect when the code has
to be loaded. That would be ok, however, when I execute
'ext.jqgmap.view' code step by step:
1.
if ( mw.jqgmap ) {
2.
return;
3.
}
4.
5.
mw.jqgmap = (function () {
First line
if ( mw.jqgmap ) {
}
is executed second time, when mw.jqgmap value is set with closure
result. Then the further execution of code just stops. No further errors
in Chrome console. And, even mw.jqgmap is correctly defined!
There used to be no if (mw.jqgmap) ( return; ) check originally, then
another code (Google maps) complained about being included twice, which
may cause "unpredictable results".
How can I fix the chain of loading so it will correctly setup
mw.jqgmap.MapController and mw.jqgmap.MarkerController so they will be
different in edit and view mode and available to use in 'ext,jqgmap' code?
I also have the whole extension under development however I haven't
comitted it into svn yet - I don't know whether yet another map
extension is desirable there. Although there was no rule against
duplicate functionality in extensions?
ResourceLoader is a bit hard to me.
