Useful core Javascript Modules

Configuration settings (core/config)

Example of using config module:

   require(['core/config’], function(mdlcfg) {
       cosole.log(mdlcfg.wwwroot); // outputs the wwwroot of moodle to console
   });

Language strings (core/str)

Example of using language strings module (retrieved via ajax, if the string is not yet loaded)

   require([‘core/str’], function(str) {
       str.get_string('edita', 'core', stringargument).done(function(s) {
          console.log(s);
       }).fail(console.log(e));
   });

The string will be retrieved via AJAX request on the first use. To avoid ajax call you may preload strings in PHP:

global $PAGE; $PAGE->requires->string_for_js('edita', 'core');
