# Modules
Modules in MediaWiki are based on [JavaScript modules](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules) and are provided by
[ResourceLoader](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ResourceLoader/Developing_with_ResourceLoader).
Modules are the preferred way to interact with the MediaWiki frontend API.
This section documents [stable](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Stable_interface_policy/Frontend) modules included with MediaWiki core.
For information about modules defined by extensions, see the documentation for those extensions.
To use a module, load the module asynchronously with `mw.loader`:
```js
mw.loader.using( 'moduleName' ).then( ( require ) => {
const module = require( 'moduleName' );
module.func();
} );();
```
Or, you can list the module in your extension's [ResourceLoader module](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ResourceLoader/Developing_with_ResourceLoader#Registering) as a dependency. For example, to use `mediawiki.util`:
`extension.json`
```json
"ResourceModules": {
"ext.MyExtension": {
"localBasePath": "modules/ext.MyExtension",
"remoteExtPath": "MyExtension/modules/ext.MyExtension",
"packageFiles": [
"index.js"
],
"dependencies": [
"mediawiki.util"
]
}
}
```
`index.js`
```js
const module = require( 'mediawiki.util' );
module.clearSubtitle();
```
## jQuery plugins
MediaWiki uses the jQuery library. You can access and extend the jQuery object using plugins
included with MediaWiki core by loading certain ResourceLoader modules.
