mod.js

Lightweight dependency managment without dependency loading for JavaScript.

mod.js

• is an experiment.
• assumes scripts are already loaded
• and in the correct (dependency) order
• keeps the global namespace as clutter free as possible
• helps you manage dependencies in scripts
• makes your browser scripts more testable

mod.js does not load any scripts. It assumes that all scripts are loaded. It's only purpose is to make it easier to manage dependencies in your scripts and keep the global namespace clean. This will make code more testable. Testability increases when dependencies become clearer and don't rely on global objects.

Some examples:

// Define a module
mod.use(function(module, require) {
  // For creating people
  module('person', function() {
    var person = function(name) {
      this.name = name
    }
    return person
  })
  // For creating a world class pop band
  module('bandmaker', function() {
    return {
      makeBand: function() {
        var person = require('person')
        return {
          john: new person('John Lennon'),
          george: new person('George Harrison'),
          ringo: new person('Ringo Starr'),
          paul: new person('Paul Macartney')
        }
      }
    }
  })

  var bandMaker = require('bandmaker')
  var theBeatles = bandMaker.makeBand()
  // We have a winner
  console.log(theBeatles)
})
