Davis.js as AMD module?

Can i use davisjs as AMD module with requirejs? I tried, but maybe i forgot something in require config?

requirejs([
   "jquery",
   "davis"
],
function   ($, routing) {
    var app = routing(function () {
        this.get('/welcome/:name', function (req) {
            alert("Hello " + req.params['name']);
        });
    });
}

This works: 

var app = Davis(function () {..});
Solution

  • Sounds like someone has a case of the Missing Shim. You need to configure RequireJS to adapt the non-AMD-compatible library into an AMD module like this:

    requirejs.config({
  paths: {
    Davis: 'script/davis'
  },
  shim: {
    Davis: {
      exports: 'Davis'
    }
  }
});

require([
  "Davis"
], function (davis) {
  console.log("Davis?", davis);
});

    More info in RequireJS documentation

    Invoking Davis() directly works since it's available in the global scope; it's just not "registered" as an AMD module: that why it's undefined when requested by RequireJS.
