can .js file be loaded without using require()

[chrisgordon]

Hello. Should I be able to do something like the below? My app's code doesn't work properly when imported using require(), so I'm trying to load it dynamically. But it seems like it's not getting the decrypted version.

win.loadFile(`${__dirname}/app/index.html`).then(_ => {
	win.webContents.executeJavaScript(`!function () {
		require('./renderer.node');
		let scr=document.createElement('script');
		scr.src='js/app.js';
		document.body.appendChild(scr);
	}()`);
});

The console shows an error Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unsupported token.
Is there a proper way to dynamically load the script that will pull the decrypted version?
Thanks!

The js code is built with Haxe and by itself the code can be imported and executed from a require() call. I was able to get it working with some tweaks. The issue was with some third party js libraries that needed to run in a global context.

• I removed one that really wasn't needed in a prod build
• For another, instead of embedding it in my js code, I load it from a script tag. However I renamed the extension to .j so it wouldn't get encrypted
