Dependency
management

“A dependency
happens when a
component relies on
another one”

View
<< depends on >>
Model

model.js
------------
(function(window){
‘use strict’;
function Model() { }
window.Model = Model;
})(window);

view.js
------------
(function(window){
‘use strict’;
function View(model) {
this.model = model;
}
window.View = View;
})(window);

var model = new Model();
var view = new View(model);

What to
consider when
you create
a dependency?

Avoid Cycles!

How do we
handle
dependencies?

Java
-----
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
Ruby
-----
require ‘net/http’
require ‘spec_helper’

...and in JS ?

import jQuery from ‘jquery’;

import jQuery from ‘jquery’;
ES6

index.html

RequireJS

var module = (function(){
// private variables, methods
var title = “”;
function f1() {}
return {
// public/privileged methods
getTitle: function(){
return title;
}
}
}()) ;
MODULE PATTERN

define(function () {
var title = “”;
function f1() {}
return {
getTitle: function() {
return title;
}
}
});
RJS MODULE PATTERN

define(id?, dependencies?, factory)

index.html
js /
-- main.js
-- helpers.js
-- app /
-- views /
-- view1.js
-- vendor /

view1.js
------------
define([‘helpers’],
function(helpers){
return {

}
});
define(function(){
// code here
});

require(dependencies?, factory)

index.html

NO blocking!

require() asynchronous
de!ne() - de!ne.amd
AMD
well suited for browser

if ( typeof define === "function" &&
define.amd ) {
define( "jquery", [], function () {
return jQuery;
});
}

},
‘backbone’: {
deps: [‘jquery’, ‘underscore’],

}
}
});
require([‘backbone’],function(Backbone){
