amdr.js is a small and very fast AMD-compliant asynchronous loader.
Size: less than 11KB (>5KB gzipped) using UglifyJS.

• Loads CommonJS AMD-formatted javascript modules in parallel.
• Loads CommonJS Modules (wrapped in a define())
• Loads non-AMD javascript files in parallel, too.
• Supports IE6+, FireFox, Chrome, Safari 3.2+, Opera 9.5+
• Tested with IE6+, FireFox 2+, Chrome 10+, Safari 4+, Opera 9.5+

• define([name String], [dependencies Array], factory Function)
• require(dependencies Array|String[, callback Function[, fallback Function]])
• require.config([config Object])

• config.debug - boolean of amdr.js debug state (default is false)
• config.timeout - number of loading timeout in second (default is 7)
• config.urlBase - string of base path (ex. '/path/to/base')
• config.urlArgs - string of request parameter(s) to be appended (ex. 'key1=value1&key2=value2')
• config.urlExt - string of default file extension (default is '.js')
• config.pathMap - object of path mappings for module names not found directly under baseUrl. The path settings are assumed to be relative to baseUrl, unless the paths setting starts with a "/" or has a URL protocol in it ("like http:").
• config.shimMap - object of shim mappings for traditional module.
• config.rewrite(name, parent) - function to rewrite the module name.

require.config({
  timeout: 15,
  urlBase: '/another/path',
  pathMap: {
    'foo': '../bar/'
  }
});
require(['foo/module', 'my/module', 'a.js', 'b.js'],
  function(fooModule, myModule) {
      //This function will be called when all the dependencies
      //listed above are loaded. Note that this function could
      //be called before the page is loaded.
      //This callback is optional.
  }
);

• exports.load(request Object, name String, parent String, parents Object)
  • This function dose module resource loading, returns a promise or a value.
  • request.config - module config
  • request.load([name String]) - uses default way to load a sub-module
  • request.toUrl(name String, config Config) - convert name to url by config
  • name - request module name
  • parent - parent module name
  • parents - parent module names
• export.rewrite(name String, parent String) - optional
  • This function does dependency name rewriting, returns a string.
  • name - request module name
  • parent - parent module name
• export.normalize(name String, normalize Function) - optional
  • This function does module name normalizing, returns a string.
  • name - name need to be converted
  • normalize(name String) - default normalizer

• require(path String, [callback Function], [fallback Function]) require other module under current module's context
• exports module exports object
• module module object
  • module.config - module config object
  • module.exports - object same as the exports module
  • module.facorty - function of module factory
  • module.toUrl(name String, [config Object]) - converts a module name to the url by current module's context or the given config

Use require module inside of a module to load a dynamic module. This may help to solve some circular dependency issues.

new Deferred([executor(resolve, reject)]) is a class, implements Promise/A or Promise/A+.

A deferred represents an operation whose resolution is pending. It has separate promise and resolver parts that can be safely given out to separate groups of consumers and producers, respectively, to allow safe, one-way communication.

• deferred.promise a Promise instance (implemented Promise/A or Promise/A+).

• deferred.resolve([value *]) resolve promise.
• deferred.reject([reason *]) reject promise.
• deferred.state() returns "padding", "resolved" or "rejected"
• deferred.then([callback Function], [fallback Function]).
  • callback to be called with the value after promise is fulfilled, or
  • fallback to be called with the rejection reason after promise is rejected.

• Deferred.resolve(promiseOrValue *) returns the promise itself or a resolved promise of the value.
• Deferred.reject([reason *]) returns a rejected promise of the reason.

This is the css file loader.

• Usage: require(['css!path/of/style.css']);
• Export: <link> element of the style.css.

This is the conditional module loader.

• Usage: require(['has!condition?module-a:module-b']);
• Export: condition matched module exports.
• API:
  • has(feature String) Boolean
  • has.add(feature String, definition Boolean|Function)
