javascript link to another javascript

Question

i want create an program using javascript, but i want my file be more organize, is there some way that i can implement the concept of include or require of php. example: javascript file that only contains function let say function.js, then another javascript file main.js. is there a way that in main.js i can call a function in the function.js?

function.js

function test(){
   alert("hello world");
}

main.js

$(document).ready(function(){
    test();
});

Yes this works. If you want structure you should look at jquery Plugins: http://learn.jquery.com/plugins/basic-plugin-creation/ and create your own plugin (seperate structure from implementation) — Joel Harkes, Dec 22 '14 at 15:15

Yes, you can always use functions out of another javascript file.

though if you executed the code immediately you need to specify the right order: First the function definition, then the function call so:

<head>
    <script src="javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="main.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

Not per see because document ready will be called after all hole DOM is loaded (and all javascript) (if javascript added in header) – Joel Harkes Dec 22 '14 at 15:16

@joelharkes — The timing of ready events doesn't seem relevant to the answer. – Quentin Dec 22 '14 at 15:18
@Quentin Thanks what I think too, just the structure is important for the OP – Eun Dec 22 '14 at 15:19
