Library and Package Import

When you use Salesforce B2C Commerce JavaScript, library and package import features can speed development.

JavaScript libraries can be shared across cartridges using the importScript("cartridgename:path/scriptname.ds") syntax (the cartridge name is optional if the script is located in the current cartridge). This is also the case for JavaScript pipelets, which can be stored in a dedicated cartridge, so they can be used from other cartridges.

Note: To specify the script, use the file name of the actual script (name.ds), relative to the scripts folder containing the pipeline or the scripts folder of another cartridge. A simple path refers to the pipeline cartridge and a prefix such as 'cartridgename:' refers to a specific cartridge.

Feature	Call	Description
Import packages	`importPackages( dw.util );`	Reuse processes that are outside the pipeline
Import class	`importClass( dw.util.HashMap );`	Reuse classes that are outside the pipeline
Library mechanism	`importScript( "mylib:export/orderhandling.ds" );`	Reuse scripts that are outside the pipeline
