Universal Module Definition for use in automated build systems
- simple synchronous wrapping of a string
- optional wrapping of a "stream" with genuine streaming
return
style module support- CommonJS support
- prevents internal UMDs from conflicting
Source Format
In order for the UMD wrapper to work the source code for your module should return
the export, e.g.
function method() {
//code
}
method.helper = function () {
//code
}
return method;
For examples, see the examples directory. The CommonJS module format is also supported by passing true as the second argument to methods.
API
umd(name, [commonJS = false], [source])
The name
should the the name of the module. Use a string like name, all lower case with hyphens instead of spaces.
If CommonJS is true
then it will accept CommonJS source instead of source code which return
s the module.
If source
is provided and is a string, then it is wrapped in umd and returned as a string. If it is not provided, a duplex stream is returned which wraps the modules (see examples/build.js).
Both commonJS and source are optional and can be provided in either order.
umd.prelude(module, [commonJS = false])
return the text which will be inserted before a module.
umd.postlude(module, [commonJS = false])
return the text which will be inserted after a module.
