Hello there,

We are hacing some common code which is repeating in several components. Also we have some common sharable JS functions which I want to share with a few components.

I am looking for some help around clientlib site. I have these 3 files.

ComponentA

   fileA.js

ComponentB

   fileB.js

ComponentC

   fileC.js

commonfunctions.js (All sharable functions are there)

 

How do I configure the import/export using babel/webpack in order to refer common function from "commonfunctions.js" file "fileA.js" and "fileB.js"

 

Any documentation or help will be appriciated.

Hi,

If you are using jquery then you can extend jQuery with your own functions. This functional are registered as plugin and available globally. 

$.fn.something = function{}

If you want to do using webpack, it is straight forward I guess

import { common } from '../../utils/common/compautil';

(function ($) {
'use strict';

...

common("I am from another file")

...

}();
