how to exclude native modules about modules-webmake HOT 5 CLOSED

@kaerus Best way is not to mix strictly server and strictly client side logic within one module, also module that aims to be cross-environment (for client and server) should not incorporate strictly server-side logic, it should be separate modules.

Different case is when module is about providing one functionality (one API), but for that it needs to address totally different API's in different environments, good example is microtime-x, in such case I write node-only requires as (require)('path'), so they're not picked by webmake

But I feel that in your case, you should provide two separate start point modules for server and for client, so server one includes http module and client one does Ajax. Does it answer your issue?

@medikoo If you mean I can do like this

if(!BROWSER) ajax = (require)('http').request;
else ajax = require('./ajax');

Yes that would definitely answer my issue. :)

Both libraries provide roughly the same API.

Wow, it looks good so far!

@kaerus yes, exactly :)

If this module is about providing same functionality no matter where it's executed, then it's exactly what you should do.

Great!
It sure looks good at first glance.
I'll evaluate this a little more and perhaps get back with more questions.

Good, let me know.
