Good questions - I had to work this out myself when moving to T5.4!
Yes, I personally consider @Import'ing JS deprecated - though it is
still valid if you don't wish to use RequireJS.
In your component put:
JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
jsSupport.require("alienfactory/stuff").with(params);
then create the JS file:
/META-INF/modules/alienfactory/stuff.js
define(["jquery", "t5/core/console", "bootstrap"], function($, console) {
return function(params) {
console.warn("jQuery version: " + $().jquery);
};
});
The above will give you access to jQuery (assuming you've chosen it as
your SymbolConstants.JAVASCRIPT_INFRASTRUCTURE_PROVIDER), will also
inject the T5 logger and ensure the bootstrap module is loaded and
initialised before calling your function.
If you want multiple functions, i.e.
jsSupport.require("alienfactory/stuff").invoke("f2");
then your JS module looks more like:
define(["jquery", "t5/core/console", "bootstrap"], function($, console) {
return {
f1: function() { .. }
f2: function() { .. }
};
});
CoffeeScript, if you wanna get into it, makes everything look a lot neater!
