Import JavaScript Files

• You can import functions from other JS files. Useful for code reuse and check-in to your Git repo.

Create JS File

• Create a new JS file in the workspace.
• Add the function you want to import in the file.
• Export the function using module.exports.

// test-import.js file
function helloWorld(){
   return "hello world";
}
 
module.exports = {
  helloWorld
}

Import JS File

• Import the JS file using require.
• Make sure to include the .js extension in the file path.
• The path should be relative (right-click on the file and select Copy Relative Path) to the workspace if you are using Git Sync. Otherwise, use the full path.

const { helloWorld } = require("thunder-tests/test-import.js");
 
var result = helloWorld();
console.log(result);

Save Path in Env Variable

• You can also save the path in the environment variable, so you don’t have to change the path in every request if you move the file to a different folder.

var scriptPath = tc.getVar("scriptPath");
var {helloWorld} = require(scriptPath);
var result = helloWorld();
console.log(result);

Autocomplete

• To enable autocompletion, you can refer to the tc-types.d.ts file.
• Copy the tc-types.d.ts file to your project and reference it at the top for VS Code autocomplete suggestions.

// @ts-check
/// copy tc-types.d.ts file for VS Code autocompletion on the tc object
/// <reference path="./tc-types.d.ts" />

TS Validation

• Use // @ts-check at the top of the script to enable TypeScript validation.
