The Divine AMD JavaScript Module Loader

This is a small, fully static AMD module loader. It does not dynamically load scripts at runtime; instead, all modules must be available up front.

Features

• Named modules
  • Using the define('id', ['dep1', ...], function factory(dep1, ...) {...}) syntax.
  • Using the define('id', function(require, exports, module) {...}) syntax.
  • Named modules can be placed in HTML files or external scripts and any number of modules can be in the same file.
  • Named module IDs must be absolute.
• Unnamed modules
  • Using the define(['dep1', ...], function factory(dep1, ...) {...}) syntax.
  • Using the define(function(require, exports, module) {...}) syntax.
  • Unnamed modules should be in their own script file and referenced by a <script> tag. The name of the module will be automatically calculated based on the path.
• The requre() function
  • Synchronous version: require('module'), which returns the module immediately.
  • Asynchronous version: require(['dep1', ...], function resolve(dep1, ...) {...}, function reject(error) { ...}). The last argument may be omitted.
• For all dependencies, relative module paths are supported.
• When defining modules, if the factory is not a function, the module will be value of that argument itself, so bundling non-JavaScript code works as well.
• The property define.amd.divine.debug may be set to true to enable debug/diagnostics logging.
• A callback may be registered using define.amd.onReady(fn), which will be invoked as soon as all defined modules have been initialized.
• Supports all modern browsers, and MSIE 9+.

Use Cases

• Rapid rebuilds: Pack your favorite frameworks with webpack as AMD once—a rather slow operation—and then simply concatenate or load them directly via <script> tags.
• Use the TypeScript compiler's "outFile": "app.js" and "module": "amd" options to compile to something deployable directly, without any other build steps. Perfect for development and viable even for production.
