modulejs for Ruby on Rails 4 Assets Pipeline

Lightweight JavaScript module system (http://larsjung.de/modulejs/), v2.2.0. Inspired by article: https://www.reinteractive.net/posts/172-a-better-way-to-modularise-your-js-in-rails

When you want to use modules in JavaScript you should solve next problems:

  1. Load scripts with dependencies, usually in big concatenated JavaScript file
  2. Execute scripts and dependencies in proper order

Rails solves problem #1 by Assets Pipeline, modulejs solves problem #2.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'modulejs-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install modulejs-rails

Usage

Require modulejs in Assets Pipeline manifest

//= require 'modulejs'

Define your own modules (this in functions points to window):

modulejs.define('bar', ['foo'], function (foo) {
    // module setup code and definitions
    return some_bar_object;
});

Or setup 3rd party code:

modulejs.define('foo', Foo);

And require them when needed:

var bar = modulejs.require('bar');
bar.doStuff();
