What is amdefine?

The amdefine package is an implementation of the AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) API for Node.js and an environment that does not natively support it. This allows developers to write their modules in a format that is both compatible with AMD-compatible loaders like RequireJS in the browser and usable in Node.js directly. It is particularly useful for projects that aim to share code between the client and the server or for projects that started in the browser and are moving to Node.js.

What are amdefine's main functionalities?

Module Definition

This feature allows the definition of modules in a way that's compatible with AMD. It checks if the `define` function is already present, and if not, it uses amdefine to provide it. This makes the module usable in environments that do not have native AMD support.

if (typeof define !== 'function') { var define = require('amdefine')(module) }
define(function(require) {
  var dependency = require('dependency');
  return function() {};
});

Dependency Injection

amdefine supports the AMD pattern of injecting dependencies as an array of strings, which are then provided as arguments to the module factory function. This simplifies managing dependencies and makes the module more modular and testable.

define(['dependency1', 'dependency2'], function(dependency1, dependency2) {
  // Module code that uses dependency1 and dependency2
});
