Abstracting a bit my bookmarklet for injecting jQuery, I’ve come to this one where you can orderly require needed scripts before executing a given payload.
{[ .orderly | 1.hilite(=javascript=) ]}
The require_* functions could be made available from a central repository, so that you can find, copy and paste what you need. But going a bit forward, one could also make orderly support URIs like ‘ord://symbol:module/version’ or ‘ord://symbol:host/module/version’ like ‘ord://j:jquery/1.8.3’ or ‘ord://j:jquery/modal/1.4.2’. They could be used like this:
{[ .ord | 1.hilite(=javascript=) ]}
and because they are strings, they would not interfere with objects and functions. Execution will then be in two steps: first, request the definition object from the repository and, finally, request the script as specified by the definition object. This will be very similar to what Bundler does for Ruby.
