module tag

[guybedford]

Is the module tag currently supported in Traceur?

Would an implementation like calvinmetcalf/es6-module-loader@611e4eb be considered here?

If this was always done to support the global System (from the module loader or Traceur), then we'd have a way that works nicely for both.

Asking first before thinking about a PR!

We support <script type='module'>, see for example test/runner.html or demo/await.html.

Yes, the PR I just received includes an implementation for supporting the <module> tag by injecting a style into the head with the selector module { display: none; }. While there are CData issues, this would still adequately provide the support in most use cases.

I'd be interested to know if Traceur would consider implementing this to try and consolidate efforts.

ES6 Module Loader also supports <script type="module"> as well. If the Traceur implementation used the global loader (window.System), then this implementation would be fully compatible with ES6 module loader and we don't need to have separate implementations either.

Personally I don't think <module> will fly but I'm willing to try.

Will wait for when this has better support.
