node-requirejs

Lets you use requirejs modules in Node

node-requirejs comes in hand when you have a requirejs based application and want to load your AMD defined modules in a Node environment. One possible use case for this is to unit test without any browser in the Node environment (with mocha, for example)

Getting started

npm install node-requirejs

Usage

You can instantiate and provide a configuration at the same time

var requirejs = require('requirejs').requirejs(yourRequireJSConfig);
var someModule = requirejs('some-module');

Or you can add an extra config on top of your 'normal' one

var requirejs = require('requirejs').requirejs(yourRequireJSConfig, someExtraConfig);
var someModule = requirejs('some-module');

N.B. The component has a default configuration (that you can of course override):

{
   baseUrl: '',
   nodeRequire: 'require'
}

Configuration

The module expose a config method that can be used to apply incremental configurations that will be painlessly merged into the existing configuration

E.g.

var requirejs = require('requirejs').requirejs(yourRequireJSConfig);
requirejs.config({ "baseUrl": "modules/level1" });
requirejs.config({ "paths": { "some-module": "level2/some-module" } });
var someModule = requirejs('some-module');

Test

npm test
