AMD Converter

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/slawrence/amdconverter.git
cd amdconverter
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Open in browser: localhost:8000

Or use apache.

Replacements

converter.js has an array called replacements that defines each replacement. The script runs each one serially, so order is important. It also declares a object map called dependNameMap, which defines each dependency and its "alias". Over time the definition of these rules have become pretty funky, but the gist of them is they specify a pattern and a depend property. The pattern property defines what is replaced. The first grouping item is the method. The depend property is used to lookup the alias.

Hardlink converter.js

Optional: Link converter.js to the converter.js on the projects svn trunk so changes are synced.

ln converter.js /your/svn/trunk/node/location/converter.js

Scripts

Change path to node folder inside each script before using. Probably a better way to use node and globally install the node convertToAMD script, but nonetheless these scripts work.

convertFolder will convert all js files that do not have AMD signatures in the current folder
convert file.js will convert a single file
Use -O option to overwrite the file.

Adding tests

Simple Test

Add test name to testNames.json in root dir

  {
      tests: [
          'basic',
          'yourtestname' // <-- Added test
      ]
  }

Create a yourtestname folder in the tests directory
Create input.js and expected.js files in the yourtestname directory
- input.js should be in the format of the old style dojo api (1.6)
- expected.js should be the expected result of the conversion

Example directory stucture:

  - amdconverter/
      - tests/
          - basic/
              - input.js
              - expected.js
          - yourtestname/
              - input.js
              - expected.js

Multiple Tests

Add the test to testNames.json as an object with a map that links an input file with an expected output file

  {
      tests: [
          'basic',
          {
              'name': 'declare', // <-- Added test
              'map' : [
                  {
                      'input' : 'input1', // Any name could be used
                      'expected': 'expected1'
                  }
              ]
          }
      ]
  }

As above, create a folder in the tests folder corresponding to the name attribute in the object
Create input and expected files corresponding to the file names in the map
