Cross-platform Module for Loading Across a Plurality of Device Types

A computing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:
• receiving an indication that a modular application has been accessed on a computing device, wherein the indication comprises an identifier associated with functionality that is provided by the modular application, wherein the modular application is configured to execute within a first type of operating system (OS) that executes on the computing device, and further wherein the modular application includes an embedded web browser;
• upon receiving the indication, identifying a module based upon the identifier, wherein the module is written in a web coding language;
• and
• causing the module to be loaded into the embedded web browser of the modular application, wherein the embedded web browser of the modular application executes the module to perform an action in furtherance of the functionality.

A method executed by a processor of a computing system, the method comprising:

• receiving an indication that a modular application has been loaded on a computing device, wherein the indication comprises an identifier associated with functionality that is provided by the modular application, wherein the modular application is configured to execute within a first type of operating system (OS) that executes on the computing device, and further wherein the modular application includes a web browser;
• upon receiving the indication, identifying a module based upon the identifier, wherein the module is written in a web coding language;
• and
• causing the module to be loaded into the web browser of the modular application, wherein the web browser of the modular application executes the module to perform an action in furtherance of the functionality.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing system, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:

• receiving an indication that a modular application has been accessed on a computing device, wherein the indication comprises an identifier associated with functionality that is provided by the modular application, wherein the modular application is configured to execute within a first type of operating system (OS) that executes on the computing device, and further wherein the modular application includes an embedded web browser;
• upon receiving the indication, identifying a module based upon the identifier, wherein the module is written in a web coding language;
• identifying a set of dependencies of the module based upon metadata included in the module, wherein the set of dependencies includes a set of modules upon which the module depends;
• and
• causing the module and the set of modules to be loaded into the embedded web browser of the modular application, wherein the embedded web browser of the modular application executes the module and the set of modules to perform an action in furtherance of the functionality.
