Using RequireJS with CommonJS modules, what happens when I do this:
define(function(require, exports, module) {
//Put traditional CommonJS module content here
var simpleCommonJSModule = require('simple-commonjs-module');
module.exports = new String('foo');
return {
//return empty object along with using module.exports
}
});
if I return something, I assume the module.exports will be ignored? Or is it the other way around?
Yes, if you return something module.exports will ignored.
Here's a snippet from the original documentation.
define(function(require, exports, module) {
var a = require('a'),
b = require('b');
//Return the module value
return function () {};
}
);
If you want to use the exports
CJS style here's you do it
define(function(require, exports, module) {
exports.foo = function () {
return a.bar();
};
});
