syscall/js: JS Module Dynamic Imports?

[Eduard Castany]

In JavaScript we can import JavaScript modules statically and dynamically. How could we import a JavaScript module dynamically in Go?

The closest/simplest thing may be to add an HTML script tag into the page header programatically (and I'm going to try that) but maybe there is a more obvious way that I'm not seeing.

This is what I have been doing and it has worked for my needs:

```

// Importing it using "require" and storing the module in a variable

core := js.Global().Call("require", "@boostercloud/framework-core")

// Now get some props/methods from that module as usual:
config := core.Get("Booster").Get("config")
```

Is this what you were asking about?

[Eduard Castany]

I guess this works on node.js but I was referring to the browser environment. Where normal JavaScript can just `import("module")`.

I think that's pretty recent? The only way used to be to add a script tag, and I have used that in Go before. I think just putting it in as a function call might work though...

So, adding <script type="module" src="lib.js"></script> to the header does NOT seem to import anything into Go's wasm. I'm thinking that this is because modules do not have global scope so Go has to import them itself, rather than delegating the loading to JS, to be able to use them. Any ideas?

[Joop Kiefte]

the environment of the wasm decides what you have access to, so you might want to add the import in the HTML around it instead.
