org.apache.tapestry5.services.javascript.AMDWrapper

public class AMDWrapper
extends java.lang.Object

Used to wrap plain JavaScript libraries as AMD modules. The underlying resource is transformed before it is sent to the client. This is an alternative to configuring RequireJS module shims for the libraries. As opposed to shimmed libraries, the modules created using the AMDWrapper can be added to JavaScript stacks. If the library depends on global variables, these can be added as module dependencies. For a library that expects jQuery to be available as $, the wrapper should be setup calling require("jQuery", "$") on the respective wrapper.

5.4

Method Detail

require

public AMDWrapper require(java.lang.String moduleName,
                          java.lang.String parameterName)

Add a dependency on another module. The module will be passed into the generated factory function as a parameter.

Parameters:

moduleName - the name of the required module, e.g. jQuery

parameterName - the module's corresponding parameter name of the factory function, e.g. $

Returns:

this AMDWrapper for further configuration

require

public AMDWrapper require(java.lang.String moduleName)

Add a dependency on another module. The module will be loaded but not passed to the factory function. This is useful for dependencies on other modules that do not actually return a value.

Parameters:

moduleName - the name of the required module, e.g. bootstrap/transition

Returns:

this AMDWrapper for further configuration

setReturnExpression

public AMDWrapper setReturnExpression(java.lang.String returnExpression)

Optionally sets a return expression for this module. If the underlying library creates a global variable, this is usually what is returned here.

Parameters:

returnExpression - the expression that is returned from this module (e.g. Raphael)

Returns:

this AMDWrapper for further configuration

asJavaScriptModuleConfiguration

public JavaScriptModuleConfiguration asJavaScriptModuleConfiguration()

Return this wrapper instance as a JavaScriptModuleConfiguration, so it can be contributed to the ModuleManager's configuration. The resulting JavaScriptModuleConfiguration should not be changed.

Returns:

a JavaScriptModuleConfiguration for this AMD wrapper
