zpm

The end of umd package manager for web.

You can write code on commonjs, and build it for anywhere.

Diff

long time ago, if you want code run in browser for anywhere, you need write code like this:

(function(window){
  if (window.Mod){
    return window.Mod;
  }

  function factory(detector){
    var Mod = {};
    Mod.method = function(){
      return detector.os.name + "/" + detector.os.version;
    };

    return Mod;
  }

  if ("function" === typeof define && (define.cmd || define.amd)){
    define(function(require, exports, module){
      module.exports = factory(require("detector"));
    });
  } else {
    window.Mod = factory(window.detector);
  }
})(this);

• In non-cmd, non-amd, you must use global variable.
• You must manager dependencies by hand via global variable.

Now you just write code on CommonJS, zpm will build it to umd for anywhere in browser:

var detector = require("detector");

var Mod = {};
Mod.method = function(){
  return detector.os.name + "/" + detector.os.version;
};

// If you donot want, global variable is not necessary.
window.Mod = Mod;
module.exports = Mod;

And you may want use spm for write, debug, test and publish you source code.

Install

$ npm install -g zpm

Usage

$ zpm build

Configure in package.json

{
  "zpm": {
    "output": {
      "umd-moudle-a.js": "commonjs-module-source-code-a.js",
      "umd-moudle-b.js": ["commonjs-module-b.js", "commonjs-module-c.js"]
    },
    "dependencies": {
      "jquery": "1.7.2"
    }
  }
}

If no zpm infomation in package.json, zpm build use spm infomation.

{
  "spm": {
    "main": "index.js",
    "dependencies": {
      "jquery": "1.7.2"
    }
  }
}
