AutoLoader.js

AutoLoader is a tool for dynamically loading JavaScript modules in an application.

Installation

npm install @partyk/autoloader.js

Usage

JavaScript

Basic usage of AutoLoader in JavaScript looks like this:

import AutoLoader from '@partyk/autoloader.js';

export default (wrapper = global.document, selector = '.js-auto-loader') => {
    const loader = new AutoLoader({
        wrapper,
        selector,
        prefixConsole: 'Admin',
        loadModuleName: (moduleName) => import(/* webpackChunkName: "[request]" */ './' + moduleName + '.loader'),
    });

    loader.load();
};

HTML

In the HTML structure, mark elements that should be loaded as modules using the corresponding class and data attribute:

<div
    class="js-auto-loader"
    data-load-module="components/calendar"
    data-load-type="lazy"
>
</div>

• The js-auto-loader class corresponds to the default selector in the AutoLoader configuration.
• The data-load-module attribute specifies the path to the module that should be loaded for this element.
• The data-load-type="lazy" attribute controls the loading behavior. When set to "lazy", the HTML element will only be loaded when it becomes visible in the viewport.
• The data-load-delay="10" attribute specifies a delay in seconds before the module is loaded.

Configuration

AutoLoader supports the following configuration parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default Value	Description
wrapper	HTMLElement	global.document	The element in which modules will be searched for loading
selector	string	'.js-auto-loader'	CSS selector for finding modules
attributeName	string	'data-load-module'	Name of the attribute for marking modules
classPreloaderLoading	string	'preloader--loading'	CSS class for the preloader loading state
classPreloaderLoaded	string	'preloader--loaded'	CSS class for the preloader loaded state
hasAttribute	boolean/object	false	Check for an additional attribute. If an object, expected in the format {name: 'attribute-name', value: 'value'}
hasAttributeSkip	boolean	false	If true, modules with a matching hasAttribute will be skipped
loadModuleName	function	-	Function for dynamically loading modules. Expected to return a Promise
prefixConsole	string	'Fron'	Prefix for console outputs

Example with Custom Configuration

import AutoLoader from '@partyk/autoloader.js';

const customLoader = (wrapper = document.querySelector('#app'), selector = '.custom-module') => {
    const loader = new AutoLoader({
        wrapper,
        selector,
        attributeName: 'data-custom-module',
        classPreloaderLoading: 'my-loading-class',
        classPreloaderLoaded: 'my-loaded-class',
        hasAttribute: {name: 'data-load-module-admin', value: 'local'},
        hasAttributeSkip: true,
        prefixConsole: 'MyApp',
        loadModuleName: (moduleName) => import(/* webpackChunkName: "[request]" */ './modules/' + moduleName + '.loader'),
    });

    loader.load();
};

export default customLoader;

Methods

load()

Initiates the module loading process. This method must be called after creating an AutoLoader instance.

Notes

• AutoLoader uses dynamic import for loading modules, allowing efficient code splitting.
• Ensure that your build tools (e.g., webpack) support dynamic import and properly configure chunks for optimal performance.
• Modules are loaded based on the value of the data-load-module attribute in HTML.
