Multiple scripts without leaking into eachother.
Is it possible to have multiple script tags/files with separate require statements without raising an error that the thing is already defined. having all the imports in one script works but then the autocomplete doesn't work.
I suppose changing it to let would work but sounds like a bad way to do things
for example:

Don't know how else to put it or how to search for it
isn't this what build tools are made to solve? I've never really looked into configuring build tools, I kinda skipped that step and went from basic vanilla JS straight to using frameworks with build tools preconfigured, but I'm pretty sure that's what build tools would do
I have no idea, would prefer not to use a framework
build tools aren't frameworks though 🙂
yeah ik
as for googling it, I'd suggest searching for "javascript require once". PHP has a function for this called require_once, that detects if a file has already been included, and there's a lot of PHP devs writing javascript too, so there's some suggestions
If I had to roll my own, and controlled all the code, I'd put each require in an if-statement that checked if the variable for that require was already defined
or even maybe
this might be the best solution i guess
it's not something I'd do if I didn't write all the code that might have those requires, but it seems like you do
not sure if
process || require('process'); or process ?? require('process'); would work better though, I'd probably try the nullish coalescing operator firstill try giving rollup a try first
