Universal module loader
A module that intend to have a control of dependencies per environment. Ex: node, commonjs, amd, brunch
The motive was: I had scripts that could be exactly the same on the client and server as long as there are libraries which exposes the same API.
It is annoying to have to duplicate because you now have to maintain 2 differents but very similar code. From my experience that gives unecessary headaches.
// multiple-depencies.js
deps = [
{
amd: "lodash", // require lodash when on an amd environment like requirejs
common: "lodash", // require lodash when on an environment like commonjs
brunch: "!_", // use global variable "_" when build with brunch
node: "lodash" // use lodash in node
},
{
// I hope you guessed
amd: "jquery",
common: "jquery",
brunch: "!jQuery",
node: "cheerio"
},
{
node: "fs"
// ignore other environments
}
];
function factory(_, $, fs) {
var exposed = {
key: "value",
_: _,
$: $,
fs: fs
};
return exposed;
}require("umd-loader").register();
var multiple = require("./multiple-depencies");
if (multiple.fs) {
// multiple.fs
}
var html = "<html><head></head><body><p>some text</p></body></html>";
var $html = multiple.$.load ? multiple.$.load(html) : multiple.$(html);
var text = $html.find("p").text();
console.log(text);TODO: document usage with node document usage with brunch document usage with webpack
