Allow explicit replacement of modules about modules-webmake HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm not sure what exactly you suggesting. You'd like to run require with two arguments and make webmake to treat a second one as one for browser?
For second part, I plan to allow customization of searched paths with that reworked version of webmake that we were talking about, so something similar would be possible.

Sorry, I'm actually suggesting two different proposals for the same idea.
For example (even though this might be more complicated in reality) when you require("jquery"), on the serverside, it's a module with jsdom implementation to support a dom on serverside, when you require("jquery") on the browserside, it's just jquery warpped into the commonjs module pattern.
Now as webmake compiles the code, it should pick up the browserside module instead of the serverside one.

This could be accomplished either by an argument to pass a map ("Given two module names...") to webmake, or webmake picking up replacement modules from a specific folder ("browser_modules").

I think that in that case you should find or prepare raw jquery package that's not configured strictly for server or client-side and use that. It's an issue of 'jquery' package that it's configured that way and not webmake, also check maybe you can easily import jquery module from there without importing any jsdom module.

I think adding such feature would just add not needed complexity. Modules that can be used on server and client should be imported same way for either side.

Just thinking, it could be useful in cases like replacing the serverside database connection with one that works in the browser.
Well, you are probably right, and what I want can also be achieved differently (e.g. Dependency Injection).
