Forums » Help » How to conditionally load a module

The following works just fine.

.requires(
    'impact.game',
    'impact.font',
    // Load certain mobule if on mobile.
    ( ig.ua.mobile ? 'game.mobile-module' : 'impact.game' ),
    ....

However, when baking the game I get the error:

ERROR: Couldn't load lib/(!ig/ua/mobile?game/mobile........etc.

Is there a way to prevent the requires process from loading something based on a variable like ig.ua.mobile and be able to still bake it?

Editted for clarity.

In your main.js, outside of the game.main module:

if (ig.ua.mobile) {
    ig.module('game.dummy-mobile-module')
        .requires('game.mobile-module')
        .defines(function(){});
} else {
    ig.module('game.dummy-module')
        .requires('impact.game')
        .defines(function(){});
}

ig.module('game.main')
...

This will define an empty dummy mobile module when running on mobile and the default impact module if not.

It's quite the hack, but it seems to work fine. Baking might chuck a hissy-fit though.

Works wonderfully, and bakes no problem!

Thank you fulvio.
