ES6: import many files

Question

I have a script that imports many AMD modules and calls the initialization method for each of them:

define(['underscore', './mod0', ..., './modN'], function (_) { _.each(_.toArray(arguments).slice(1), function (m) { init(m); }); }); 

I need to switch to the ES6 import syntax, and I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to import modules from a list, similar to my AMD code. I want to avoid madness, for example:

 import mod0 from './mod0'; ... import modN from './modN'; init(mod0); ... init(modN); 

Any tips on how to do this? thanks!

Answer 1

Can I import modules from a list?

No, without explicitly calling your module loader (depending on what it is). There is no way to do this using import declarations.

eval could do this :-)

I would recommend using two modules:

 // index.js export mod0 from './mod0'; … export modN from './modN'; 

 // init-all.js import * as modules from './index'; // enumerable namespace for (var moduleIdentifier in modules) init(modules[moduleIdentifier]); 

You could do the same with just one module (which imports itself as an object of the module namespace), but that will certainly be real madness.
