my question is about using javaScript in a external file and import it in a service in thingworx , like in python we use , import file as fl inside a service or in another file.

Hello @anassNasser,

In ThingWorx you can't import dependencies directly from files, because all code is in the database, so you need to wrap it into ThingWorx entities first.

For example, instead of this:

import { calculator } from "my-calculator-module";
var sum = calculator.add(1, 2);

you can do something like that:

var calculator = Things["MyCalculatorModule"];
var sum = calculator.add({ x: 1, y: 2 });

Constantine
