AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To load a NetSuite module dynamically, you can use the
require
function in SuiteScript. This function allows you to load a module at runtime. Here is an example of how you can use it:
Copy code
javascript
function debug_require(module, in_name)
{
    var script_config_json = {
        "paths": {
            "custom_module_1": "/path/to/module/1.js",
            "custom_module_2": "/path/to/module/2.js",
        }
    }

    var module_to_require = module;
    if(script_config_json.paths[module])
    {
        module_to_require = script_config_json.paths[module];
    }

    // require the module
    require([module_to_require], function(loaded)
    {
        // see if we provide a name
        var name = in_name;

        // if we don't provide a name, use the module as a name
        if(!name)
        {
            name = module
        }

        // only use a name after the last '/' symbol (works for 'N/record' as well as '/Suitescript/Libraries/...')
        name = name.slice(name.lastIndexOf(`/`)+1);
        
        // only use a name before the first '.' (works for 'stuff.js')
        name = name.replace(/\\..*/g,'');

        // if there is a window
        if(window)
        {
            // if the original module requested was current record, call get, and then assign that to the window object
            if(module == 'N/currentRecord')
            {
                window[name] = loaded.get();
                console.group(`window.${name} loaded`);
                console.warn(`Do not use in actual scripts - only for debugging in console.`);
                console.warn(`In real usage of require([${in_name}]), you will need to call currentRecord.get() after require()ing.`)
                console.groupEnd(`window.${name}`);
            }
            // otherwise just assign it to the window
            else
            {
                window[name] = loaded;
                console.group(`window.${name} loaded`)
                console.warn(`Do not use in actual scripts - only for debugging in console.`);
                console.groupEnd(`window.${name}`);
            }
        }
    })
}
This function allows you to load a module dynamically and assign it to a global variable for easy access. You can use this function in the console for debugging purposes. However, it's not recommended to use this function in actual scripts. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
