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

Name Casing and Characters

The name passed to umd will be converted to camel case (my-library becomes myLibrary) and may only contain:

• alphanumeric characters
• $
• _

The name may not begin with a number. Invalid characters will be stripped.
