Beloader

Beloader is a lightweight asset loader library. It provides simple means to trigger and monitor download of any asset (css, script, font...).

Its fine-grained event management and simple interface for plugins let anyone extends it with ease to own needs.

It particularly shines as a front-end loader cause it can manage all kinds of assets and not only scripts.

Why Beloader ?

• Lightweight
• No more dealing with racing bets when loading in a web page or app
• Highly customizable dynamically imported loaders, callbacks and plugins

Features

• Can load assets asynchronously (except raw binary data)
• Defer mode : each asset promise will be resolved exactly in the same order that they have been requested
• Awaiting mode : an asset promise will be resolved only when its declared dependencies are resolved
• Promise based : Each asset loading (item) exposes a promise interface that is resolved when asset ready or rejected in case of error
• Event based : You can hook custom callbacks at each step trigerred by specific events or create customs ones
• Plugin friendly : Beloader architecture makes adding plugins a breeze
