ExtendableEvent.waitUntil() - Web APIs
the install events in service workers use waituntil() to hold the service worker in the installing phase until tasks complete.
... if the promise passed to waituntil() rejects, the install is considered a failure, and the installing service worker is discarded.
... this is primarily used to ensure that a service worker is not considered installed until all of the core caches it depends on are successfully populated.

Using JavaScript code modules
using chrome.manifest the easiest way for extensions and xul applications to add custom aliases is by registering an alias in the chrome manifest using a line like this: resource aliasname uri/to/files/ for example, if the xpi for your foo extension includes a top-level modules/directory containing the bar.js module (that is, the modules/directory is a sibling to chrome.manifest and install.rdf), you could create an alias to that directory via the instruction: resource foo modules/ (don't forget the trailing slash!) you could then import the module into your javascript code via the statement: components.utils.import("resource://foo/bar.js"); programmatically adding aliases custom aliases to paths that can be represented as an nsilocalfile can be programmatically added as well...
