I'd like to use some CommonJS pliant modules in some of my scripts. Those scripts are just meant to do things on my laptop: it's not in the browser, it's not really in the server either. I just manipulate a mongodb that I use locally.
So I wonder, what is the best way to do that? I only found outdated wrappers that would provide CommonJS capabilities and the mongo shell.
Should I handcode a require system? Should I handcode a workaround? Is there already a minimal loader existing?
All your ideas regarding the matter will be appreciated, for sure.
Pointers towards implementation of other parts of CommonJS would be appreciated too.

- Well node.js does work here but I'd rather use the mongo shell and another way to include monJS modules – m09 Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 17:01
- Ah - your question didn't really mention using mongo shell as a requirement. – Joe Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 17:17
- well mongo shell is just an extended SpiderMonkey so a good general answer should fit – m09 Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 17:19
- There is a list on the monjs website. Several of these wrap SpiderMonkey. – Steve Campbell Commented Sep 7, 2012 at 21:09

You should try out http://code.google./p/gpsee/ which is having general-purpose C API for embedding SpiderMonkey & CommonJS.
