Import the NGSI library modules in a JavaScript project

You can import npm modules in a server-side JavaScript project in two ways, using the ECMAScript 5 or the ECMAScript 6. The next sections explain how to import the npm modules ngsi-parser and ocb-sender in a JavaScript project depending of the ECMAScript standard used.

ES5 (ECMAScript 5)

The standard ECMAScript 5 provides the reserved words var and require for importing npm modules in JavaScript project. Using this standard, you can import the ngsi-parser and ocb-sender module typing the next lines of code:

	var ngsi = require('ngsi-parser')

	var ocb = require('ocb-sender')

ES6 (ECMAScript 6)

The standard ECMAScript 6 provides the reserved words import, as and from for importing npm modules in a JavaScript project. Using this standard, you can import the ngsi-parser or ocb-sender module through the next lines of code:

	import NGSI as ngsi from 'ngsi-parser'

    import OCB as cb from 'ocb-sender';
