The built-in module loader mechanism has been updated so that it now retains the query parameters from the URL that is used when sourcing in the Uize.

These query parameters make their way into the default value that is set for the Uize.moduleUrlTemplate static property when loading in the Uize base class in a Web page. As such, they are then used when forming the URLs for requesting subsequent modules that need to be dynamically loaded in. This means that if you're adding a build number query parameter onto the URL when loading in the Uize base class in a script tag, then that same build number will appear in URLs for dynamically loaded modules. By using a build version query param when loading the Uize base class, one can ensure that the browser's cache will be defeated for all dynamically loaded modules, which guarantees that the browser won't continue using an old cached copy for one module while potentially using a new fresh copy of some other module (which could produce errors if the different modules from different versions of the framework are not compatible with one another).

The Uize.getPathToLibrary static method has been improved to now support an optional moduleTokenSTR parameter.

SYNTAX

pathToModuleSTR = MyClass.getPathToLibrary (moduleFilenameSTR,moduleTokenSTR);

When the optional moduleTokenSTR parameter is specified, then the value returned by this method will be the value of the src property for the script tag that sources in the module specified by the moduleFilenameSTR parameter, but with the module filename replaced by the substitution token specified by the moduleTokenSTR parameter. Consider the following example...

EXAMPLE

In the above example, the script tag that sources in the "Uize.js" module has the value "../js/Uize.js?bld=123" specified for its src attribute. By specifying the value '[MODULE]' for the optional moduleTokenSTR parameter in the Uize.getPathToLibrary method call, the text "Uize.js" is replaced with the text "[MODULE]", and the value returned by the Uize.getPathToLibrary method is '../js/[MODULE]?bld=123'.
