kwire

Enables CommonJS-like require and module.exports syntax in the browser.

File size: 989 bytes.
Supported platforms: server and browser (does nothing on the server).
Supported language versions: ES5 and above.

Falls-back to looking on window for the requested 'module' so that libraries that register themselves on window 'just work'.

If you use this library in your software please tweet me @benastontweet.

Installation

npm install kwire

Example

window.kwire(); // You can optionally supply a root object argument.
 
function MyController() {}
MyController._path_ = 'controllers/my-controller';
module.exports = MyController; // Registers MyController with kwire.
 
var MyCtrl = require('controllers/my-controller');
MyCtrl === MyController; // true
 
// -- or --
 
require('controllers/my-controller', function(MyCtrl) {
    MyCtrl === MyController; // true
});
 
// -- or --
 
require(['controllers/my-controller'], function(MyCtrl) {
    MyCtrl === MyController; // true
});
