Import JsCode snippets from javascript files

[hansthen]

Some time ago, someone requested a feature that would allow importing JsCode objects from a javascript file. See here for the initial discussion: #1942.

To satisfy my own curiosity I implemented an import hook that would allow just that. With it you can write code like this:

With a directory structure like this javascript/functions.js you could write python code as follows:

from javascript.functions import example. The result would be a JsCode object with the source code of the method. I think this would be useful for the Folium project, but it also has use cases outside of Folium. For instance, many streamlit components use a similar JsCode object to encapsulate javascript functions in python.

Would it be okay to host this as a separate project under the python-visualization organization?
