hi @whoami,

what's wrong with importing a module into another module?

You have a couple of options for modules:

1. You can create generic ES6 modules, and then import them straight into any other module using the ES6-import syntax.

2. You can also create an angular-directive/services/..., and import it using as a function parameter, like you would in angular. E.g.:

• define the indexPatterns service: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/index_patterns/index_patterns.js#L48
• use it: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/visualize/visualization.js#L14

no. if I use a new third-party directive in the global_nav.js, its ok only in kibana app, but will be error in other app. i have to import this directive in every app, but the global_nav.js is a common part for every app, why I have to import again in each app
