This project has two components you can use.
- A wrapper to allow loading RequireJS modules using Q promises (requireQ).
- A RequireJS plugin to transparently load modules which return Q promises (rq).
var promise = requireQ(["some-module", "another-module"]);
promise.spread(function(m1, m2) {
console.log("Modules were loaded.");
console.log(m1);
console.log(m2);
});
An async module which returns a Q promise:
// async-module.js
define([], function() {
console.log("This does nothing either...");
return Q.fcall(function() {return {data: "Again"};});
});
Include it as below:
require(["rq!async-module"], function(v) {
console.log("Loaded another module");
console.log(v); // v will be the JSON, not the promise
});
Alternatively, you can use requireQ directly, without using rq at all, like so:
var promise = requireQ(["some-module", "another-module", "async-module"]);
promise.spread(function(m1, m2, v) {
console.log("Modules were loaded.");
console.log(m1);
console.log(m2);
console.log(v); // v will be the JSON
});
