How to get the file-path of the currently executing javascript code

Question

I\'m trying to do something like a C #include \"filename.c\", or PHP include(dirname(__FILE__).\"filename.php\") but in javascript. I know I can do

Answer 1

I've coded a simple function which allows to get the absolute location of the current javascript file, by using a try/catch method.

// Get script file location
// doesn't work for older browsers

var getScriptLocation = function() {
    var fileName    = "fileName";
    var stack       = "stack";
    var stackTrace  = "stacktrace";
    var loc     = null;

    var matcher = function(stack, matchedLoc) { return loc = matchedLoc; };

    try { 

        // Invalid code
        0();

    }  catch (ex) {

        if(fileName in ex) { // Firefox
            loc = ex[fileName];
        } else if(stackTrace in ex) { // Opera
            ex[stackTrace].replace(/called from line \d+, column \d+ in (.*):/gm, matcher);
        } else if(stack in ex) { // WebKit, Blink and IE10
            ex[stack].replace(/at.*?\(?(\S+):\d+:\d+\)?$/g, matcher);
        }

        return loc;
    }

};
