Using Q library in browser

Question

I need to use Q library (http://documentup.com/kriskowal/q/) in the browser. I would like to use RequireJS to load this library, but I don\'t have any

Answer 1

The proper AMD way of doing this would be (borrowed example code from @Eamonn O'Brien-Strain):

requirejs.config({
  paths: {
    Q: 'lib/q'
  }
});

function square(x) {
  return x * x;
}

function plus1(x) {
  return x + 1;
}

require(["Q"], function (q) {
  q.fcall(function () {
    return 4;
  })
    .then(plus1)
    .then(square)
    .then(function (z) {
      alert("square of (value+1) = " + z);
    });
});

This way Q doesn't leak to the global scope and it's easy to find all modules depending on this library.
