Import module in CLI

[LukeSkyw]

Trying to start the CLI with some imported module. For example, trying to load quickjs-require. This is what I tried so far:

bash $ curl -sOL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IvanGaravito/quickjs-require/master/require.js
bash $ ./qjs --interactive --std --module require.js
QuickJS - Type "\h" for help
qjs > require
ReferenceError: 'require' is not defined
    at <eval> (<evalScript>)
qjs > ctrl^d
bash $ ./qjs --interactive --std --script require.js
SyntaxError: expecting '('
    at require.js:1

bash $ ./qjs --interactive --std -I require.js
QuickJS - Type "\h" for help
qjs > require
ReferenceError: 'require' is not defined
    at <eval> (<evalScript>)
qjs > ctrl^d
bash $ ./qjs
QuickJS - Type "\h" for help
qjs > import { require } from '../require.js'
SyntaxError: expecting '('
    at <evalScript>:1
qjs > 
bash $

I am obviously a little confused as what can be done with the CLI and how but any guidance is appreciated.

I found a way to load it once the CLI is started:

QuickJS - Type "\h" for help
qjs > import('require.js').then(require => this.require = require)
{  }
qjs > require
{ require: function require() }

I found a way to "preload" modules but that's not so elegant:

bash $ cat > test.js
import('require.js').then(require => this.require = require);
bash $ ./qjs --interactive --script test.js
QuickJS - Type "\h" for help
qjs > require
{ require: function require() }

The CLI is not really adapted to use modules. You should use a script to test the require.js module.
