Asynchronous CommonJS/AMD Loader

This module loads NPM modules (CommonJS) as AMD modules.

Unlike RequireJS, which requires a monolithic compile step and returns a single bundle, this loader loads each file separately. This makes development/debugging easier, because your modules are not all munged together.

Usage

// Dynamic loading - location is arbitrary
app.use('/amd/', amd.dynamic());

<script src="/amd/"></script>
<script>
    require('uri-templates', function (UriTemplate) {
        ...
    });
</script>

Explicit loading position

By default, the AMD loader script figures out where to load modules from by inspecting its own URL.

If this doesn't work (i.e. the loader script is itself being loaded dynamically), then you'll need to explicitly tell it where it's being hosted.

// Dynamic loading, based in arbitrary location
app.use('/amd/', amd.dynamic('/amd/'));
