FR: ability to dynamically wire child context from external domain about wire HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @dizzib,

It's currently possible to compute the module id of a wire spec and pass it to wire, either when using wire as an AMD plugin or as a regular module. Below, getWireSpecId() can do anything it wants/needs to do to construct the module id of a wire spec:

// As AMD plugin
var mySpec = getWireSpecId();
require(['wire!' + mySpec], function(context) { ... });

// As AMD module
require(['wire'], function(wire) {
    var mySpec = getWireSpecId();
    wire(mySpec).then(function(context) { ... });
});

If you want the ability to determine the full url of the spec (i.e. crossing hostnames, etc.), you can configure your AMD loader (are you using curl?) to map wire spec ids (since they are just AMD modules) to whatever path/host/url you'd like.

Does that help? If not, could you provide some code examples that show what you are doing now, and what you would like to be able to do?

That helps enormously!

Following your advice I've added the plugin-path to my curl paths, thereby causing my plugin code to be pulled off the internet.

Then to eliminate the hardcoding, I mix-in the computed plugin-path to my static curl config and pass this into curl just before the child gets wired.

Anyway, it's working a treat! Thanks for your help on this Brian, really appreciated :-)

Great, glad that worked for you!
