require

[Angelo Chen]

Hi,

var fs = require('fs');

I'd like to understand this a little more, require is part of v8 JS? or nodejs function? if yes, where can I find it in Nodejs's source code? thanks,

Angelo

Hi,

Thanks for the direction, but I found it at beg of module.js, it has a
line:
var NativeModule = require('native_module');
is the require here refers to:

Module.prototype.require = function(path) {
return Module._load(path, this);
};
?

NativeModule defined here https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/src/node.js#L676

It just returns itself if module id is 'native_module' https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/src/node.js#L687

Module._load defined here https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/lib/module.js#L275

I'm afraid you're going to have to keep reading. :-) You'll discover that ultimately 'require' is a function that is unique for each module, and is passed in to the wrapper that executes the module. See:

https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/lib/module.js#L377

https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/src/node.js#L726

https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/lib/module.js#L453

 

NativeModule.require() is used to get at those modules that are baked into Node itself; a regular 'require' is used for everything else.
