fetch-js

library1.0.3jsnpmunverified

A lightweight, reliable script loader for browsers that fetches JavaScript files and executes callbacks once the script is evaluated. Version 1.0.3 is the current stable release with no active development. It works with CommonJS (require) and has no dependencies. Key differentiator: it focuses solely on script loading with error handling, unlike heavier loaders like RequireJS or SystemJS.
