Usage of `import` as method names

[martines3000]

Hi. We are developing a project that is running inside a hardened JavaScript environment called SES (Secure EcmaScript) and this library is one of our sub-dependencies. SES doesn't allow overriding “reserved” keywords like import and this causes many issues for us.

My question is if it would be possible to maybe rename methods like this:

N3.js/src/N3Store.js

Line 305 in 51a4156

import(stream) {

from import(stream) to something like _import(stream). This would solve our problems.

Thank you for the help.

Hi @martines3000, we can't because this method name is prescribed by http://rdf.js.org/stream-spec/

Perhaps monkey patching (there exist npm tools for this) might help you out.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I am already doing that, but it is quite tedious as I need to patch multiple libraries and rebuild a some of them.

Is there maybe a way to raise the issue to the specification writers, as I think it is also not a good practice to use “reserved” keywords like that as method names?

Indeed; the spec repository is part of this GitHub organization, would be good to raise it there.
