The JavaScript Universal Module & Resource Converter

define(['Modular', 'Development', 'Deployment'], function(){ return 'that just works, painlessly!' });

require('more').than(this);

define(['dep1','dep2'], function(dep1,dep2) {
  // do stuff with dep1, dep2
  return {my:'module'}
});

// or
var dep1 = require('dep1'),
    dep2 = require('dep2');
// do stuff with dep1, dep2
module.exports = {my: 'module'}

// or both, in a relaxed, non-weird way
define(['dep1','dep2'], function(dep1,dep2) {
  var dep3JSON = require('json!dep3AsJSON');
  // do stuff with dep1, dep2, dep3JSON
  return {my:'module'}
});

// mix well known features from both
define(['dep1'], function(dep1) {
  exports.prop = dep1 + require('dep3');
});

dependencies: exports: bundle: { 'lodash': '_', 'backbone': 'Backbone'}

A Modules & Dependencies aware builder.

Exporting modules to window/global variables (like window._, window.$ etc), demystified and with no boilerplate.

Want noConflict(), baked in? Its a simple declaration away.

// file `uberscore.js` - export it to root (`window`) as `_B`
({ urequire: { rootExports: '_B', noConflict: true }});
module.exports = {...}

The same in a config is

dependencies: { exports: { root: { 'uberscore': '_B' }}}`

How about exporting to your bundle only?

// export/inject `_` in (all) bundle's modules
dependencies: { exports: { bundle: { 'lodash': '_' }}}

Want to replace deps with mocks or alternative versions ?

Inject, replace or even delete dependencies with a simple declaration or a callback:

// underscore is dead, long live _
dependencies: { replace: { lodash: 'underscore'}}

// with code
function(modyle){ modyle.replaceDeps('models/PersonModel', 'mock/models/PersonModelMock'); }

[ '$coco', [ '**/*.co'], ((r)-> require('coco').compile r.converted), '.js']

A versatile in-memory Resource Conversion

Manipulate Module code while building:

• inject, replace or delete code fragments or AST nodes or dependencies with one liners.

  // delete matching code of code skeleton
  function(m){ m.replaceCode('if (debug){}') }
  
  // traverse matching nodes, replace or delete em
  function(m){ m.replaceCode('console.log()', function(nodeAST){return nodeOrStringOrUndefined}) }

Perform any code manipulation - eg remove debug code, inject initializations etc

• Inject code before (or after) each module's body eg. to initialize custom module code, for common module tasks:

  function(m) { m.beforeBody = 'var l = new _B.Logger("Logger" + m.dstFilename);' }

• Inject common or merged repeating statements: keep DRY, save space & speed when combined in a single .js

  // each module will have before its main body, in all templates
  bundle: commonCode: 'var expect = chai.expect;'
  
  // added before beforeBody for all templates except 'combined', where its merged
  function(m) { m.mergedCode = '"var p1 = myModule.p1, p2 = myModule.p2, ..., pN = myModule.pN;"' }

  Who needs bloated plugins ? Here's a ResourceConverter for our coco files (included along with coffeescript, LiveScript, iced-coffee-script.
