Cowboys Contract Priorities: Ranking Next Extensions After DaRon Bland

Syntax: Uses define() to ‍define modules and specify their dependencies.
Example:

javascript
    // moduleA.js
    define(function() {
      return {
        myFunction: function() {
          console.log("Hello from module A!");
        }
      };
    });

    // moduleB.js
    define(['./moduleA'], function(moduleA) {
      moduleA.myFunction();
    });
    

Popular Implementations: RequireJS is a well-known AMD implementation.

Global ​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.

Complexity: UMD modules can be more complex to ⁢write due to the need⁤ to support multiple environments.
Versatility: Offers the broadest compatibility.

Modern JavaScript Modules (ES Modules)

ES Modules (ESM)⁣ are the official standard module system in JavaScript, introduced ‌with ⁣ECMAScript 2015 (ES6). They offer a ⁣clean and efficient way ‌to manage​ modules.

Syntax: Uses import and export keywords.
Example:

javascript
    // moduleA.js
    export function myFunction() {
      console.log("Hello from module A!");
    }

    // moduleB.js
    import { myFunction } from './moduleA.js';
    myFunction();
