javascript
// moduleA.js
define(function() {
return function() {
console.log("Hello from Module A!");
};
});
// moduleB.js
define(['./moduleA'], function(moduleA) {
moduleA();
});
3.Universal Module Definition (UMD)
UMD aims to be compatible with both CommonJS and AMD, providing a single module format that works in various environments. It attempts to detect the module system and adapt accordingly.
Syntax: A wrapper function that checks for different module environments.
Use Cases: Useful for creating libraries that need to work in both Node.js and the browser.
Complexity: Can be more complex to write than CJS or AMD directly.
4. ECMAScript modules (ESM)
The official standard module system for JavaScript, introduced with ES6 (ES2015). ESM uses static analysis to determine module dependencies, enabling optimizations and better performance.
Syntax: import to import modules and export to export.
Use Cases: Increasingly becoming the standard for modern JavaScript development, supported natively in most browsers and Node.js.
Example:
```javascript
// moduleA.js
export function sayHello() {
console.log("Hello from Module A!");
}
// moduleB.js
import { sayHello } from './moduleA.
