Is RequireJS dead?
RequireJS has been a hugely influential and important tool in the JavaScript world. It’s still used in many solid, well-written projects today. But as it has stagnated and competitors have grown up, it now suffers compared to the alternatives.
Why we use require in JS?
The require() method is used to load and cache JavaScript modules. So, if you want to load a local, relative JavaScript module into a Node. js application, you can simply use the require() method.
How to create an AMD module using require.js?
I’m looking specially for an example using jsfiddle to show it works in the browser directly. Here is a example with require. Is this answer outdated? When directly defining an AMD module in a browser, the module cannot be anonymous, it must have a name otherwise require.js will throw the error Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define () module.
What are the problems with AMD in JavaScript?
There’s a proposed solution to this, partly in the form of Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD). This solves the dependancy problem (some scripts depending on others), the global “namespace” problem (where all code is in the global “namespace” by default), and the blocking problem.
Can a module be anonymous in require.js?
When directly defining an AMD module in a browser, the module cannot be anonymous, it must have a name otherwise require.js will throw the error Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define () module. If you are using the r.js optimizer you can define anonymous AMD modules and r.js will look after module names.
Why do we need asynchronous modules in JavaScript?
Asynchronous Module Definition is a specification for defining JavaScript modules. I said above, though, that AMD is only part of the solution. That’s because a module is useless if we can’t load it onto a page and use it. So, that’s the other part: we need to require our modules (load them), and then use them.
