Setup

Server: Configuration

require("mitos").config({
    "data": {
        key1: "word"
    },
    "import paths": [
        require("paths")["assets"] + "/dna/",
        require("paths")["assets"] + "/other-dna/"
    ]
});

Server: Make (& Send) First Bundle

require("mitos")["get package 1"]({
    "query": "import entry_point/first_page", //* required, just like the query, but w/o at symbols
    "launch params": ["start"] //* optional, these are passed in as arguments to the function that initiates the application
}, function(bundle) {
    var script = "<script>" + bundle + "<script>";

    // e.g. add script to html doc and send that to client
});

Client: Request additional JavaScript

Essentially this makes a POST request that includes the manifest of files that the client currently has, so that subsequent bundles can utilize these files

function mitos_request_subsequent_bundle(options) {
    var url = options.url;
    var data = options.data || null;

    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    var manifest = window["manifest"];

    request.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (request.readyState == 4 && request.status == 200) {
            var response = request.responseText;

            var scriptStart;
            var launch;
            (function() {
                var number = "";

                if (response.substring(0,1) === "*") {
                    for (var i = 1; i < response.length; i++) {
                        var char = response.substring(i,i+1);

                        if (char === "*") {
                            if (number !== -1) {
                                launch = parseInt(number);
                                scriptStart = i + 1;
                                return;
                            }
                            else {
                                console.error("launch number not provided");
                            }
                        }
                        else {
                            number = number + char;
                        }
                    }
                }
                else {
                    console.error("launch not found");
                }
            })();

            var js = response.substring(scriptStart);

            if (js.length > 0) {
                var script = document.createElement("script");
                script.text = js;
                document.getElementById("sequences").appendChild(script);
            }

            window.bundle[launch](data);
        }
    };

    request.open("POST", url, true);
    request.send(JSON.stringify(manifest));
};
