Conditional import in javascript

Question

I have a native library built for either node or electron. The project importing this library uses the node implementation (for testing). A further project requires the electron version. Is there a way I can setup a configuration for a conditional import that is trumped by the parent project?

Project A (electron)
  |- Project B (node)
      |- Library (native node/electron)

So Project B would set the config to node, causing the Library to conditionally load the node native. Project A could override that config to force the Library to load the native electron config.

How would I setup something like this?

Answer 1

You can see if you're running in electron like this:

if(process.versions['electron']) {
    console.log('we are running in electron');
}

or

if(window && window.process && window.process.type) {
    console.log('we are running in electron');
}
