Simple UniversalModuleDefinition

Universal Module Definition - or UMD for short - is a way of defining modules that work in both CommonJS, AMD, and browser globals.

Although the idea was conceived years ago, no simple API was ever created. Every time you needed to define a UMD module you would have to recreate the system based on the templates. This library proposes a solution for that.

Installation

You can install UMD through npm:

npm i umd

Usage

You can import UMD through whatever module system you like:

// Browser Globals
umd;

// CommonJS
const umd = require('umd');

// AMD
define( ['umd'], function(umd){} );

// ES6 Modules
import umd from 'path/to/umd.module.js';

There are plenty of ways to define your module, but they all follow the same structure:

umd.define({
 moduleName: 'module',
 dependencies: [ /* ... */ ],
 factory: () => {
  // some code...
 }
})
