A plugin of RequireJS for loading asynchronously defined modules
If your project will run in browser completely, suggest to use GreenDefine library as a replacement of RequireJS. That provide the asynchronous module define in a more natural and effecient way.
If your RequireJS module need the asynchronously defining feature when initializing, you can work it out with this plugin.

To define your asynchronously defined module:
define(['dep1', 'dep2', ..., 'depN'], function(dep1, dep2, ..., depN){
// do some initializing without deferring
return function(load){
// do some initializing WITH deferring.
something_asynchronized(..., function(some_stuff){
something_else_asynchronized(..., function(some_other_stuff){
load(the_initialized_module);
});
});
};
})To require your deferred module:
require([..., 'defer!deferred_module', ...], function(..., deferred_module, ...){
// deferred_module will be the_initialized_module
// act as normal require
})To define a module that depends on your asynchronously defined module:
define([..., 'defer!deferred_module', ...], function(..., deferred_module, ...){
// deferred_module will be the_initialized_module
// act as normal define
})Refer to the test directory as an example.
To define your asynchronously defined coffeescript module: (better tastes)
define ['dep1', 'dep2', ..., 'depN'], (dep1, dep2, ..., depN) -> (load) ->
something_asynchronized ..., (some_stuff) ->
something_else_asynchronized ..., (some_other_stuff) ->
load(the_initialized_module)To require your coffeescript module:
require([..., 'defer!cs!deferred_module', ...], function(..., deferred_module, ...){
// ...
})require [..., 'defer!cs!deferred_module', ...], (..., deferred_module, ...) ->
