Tinyrequire.js

To the point dependency management.

Based on require.js, tinyrequire.js allows you to define and require your Javascript modules in the browser with automatic dependency management (optionally via parameters) and script injection. At 1547kb, tinyrequire.js has an incredibly low footprint and doesn't waste time.

Usage

There are two ways to use tinyrequire. One is to include tinyrequire.js then manually all the other dependancies or two, allow tinyrequire to gather the depedencies for you. Simply add a data-main attribute which points to the main entry point for your application on the tinyrequire script tag like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="src/tinyrequire.js" data-main="src/main.js"></script>

A couple of things are assumed:

The name of the dependency is the filename with the .js extension.
All dependencies are stored in the same directory or subdirectories as the main script.

When storing modules in folders, require'ing foo/bar will look for the foo/bar directory and supply the module with define'd name foo/bar from the file foo/bar.js. Tinyrequire does not automatically namespace modules so define'ing foo/bar.js with the name bar will not work. Any modules in the main directory's subdirectories will have to manually namespaced to reflect their path.

API

`require( [dependencies, ] callback )`

Require dependencies for a module. Supply a array of dependencies as the first parameter or optionally allow tinyrequire to infer them from the function parameters. Example:

require(["foo", "bar"], function(foo, bar) {
	alert(foo, bar);
});

// Equivalent
require(function(foo, bar) {
	alert(foo, bar);
});

`define( name, [dependencies, ], callback )`

Define a module with dependencies. The value returned from callback given it's dependencies is what's passed to other modules as a dependency. The callback's dependencies can also be inferred by it's parameters like require.

define("foo", ["bar"], function(bar) {
	return function() {
		alert(bar);
	}
});

define("bar", function() {
	return "Hello world!";
});

require(function(foo) {
	foo(); // alert("Hello world!");
});
