umd

Universal Module Definition for use in automated build systems

simple synchronous wrapping of a string
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

options:

commonJS (default: false) - If commonJS is true then it will accept CommonJS source instead of source code which returns the module.

umd(name, source, [options])

The name should the the name of the module. Use a string like name, all lower case with hyphens instead of spaces.

If source should be a string, that is wrapped in umd and returned as a string.

umd.prelude(module, [options])

return the text which will be inserted before a module.

umd.postlude(module, [options])

return the text which will be inserted after a module.

Command Line

Usage: umd <name> <source> <destination> [options]

Pipe Usage: umd <name> [options] < source > destination

Options:

 -h --help     Display usage information
 -c --commonJS Use CommonJS module format

You can easilly pipe unix commands together like:

cat my-module.js | umd my-module | uglify-js > my-module.umd.min.js
