Loading modules from a webserver

Just to add to this: The IDE scans your code on the right hand side for mentions of require(url) - however it isn't smart enough to dynamically load module URLs that are specified in a variable.

Espruino itself can't easily load modules via require because an HTTP request to get them would take a certain amount of time. Instead, if you want to load the module yourself do something like:

function loadModule(moduleName, url, callback) {
  require("http").get(url, function(res) {
    var contents = "";
    res.on('data', function(data) { contents += data; });
    res.on('close', function() {Modules.addCached(moduleName, contents); callback(); });
  });
}

loadModule("transmitClass", "http://192.168.88.117:8081/transmitClass.js", functtion() {
  Transmit = require("transmitClass");
});
