RequrieJS uses Asynchronous Module Loading (AMD) technique for the loading of files. In the technique of AMD, each dependent module loads in the given order through an asynchronous way. -easy to refactor whole front-end by using aliases for modules in your config file -tight and clear control of dependencies and loading order -define statements are a gentle reminder that you are working on frontend not backend JS -does not require a build step, unlike Browserify or Webpack, the feature which truly facilitates hot-reloading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RequireJS? -Third-party libs need to be AMD compatible which can be complicated with some scripts -Extra code for function wrappers and loader shim -AMD is not a real standard, just some sort of proposition that gained some traction in the JS community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering RequireJS: Script injection is still too buggy to rely on. If you are only targeting modern browsers then you're probably OK but older browsers (e.g. MSIE6/7) don't always reliably load scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RequireJS solving and how is that benefiting you? I have created SPA (Single Page Application) application for using this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GD Gurpreet Singh D. Scrum Master Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/26/2019 "Easy-to-use, compatible and popular" 4/5 What do you like best about RequireJS? Easy to use libraries. Compatible with most of the modern browsers. Also supported with JQuery. Pre-defined folder structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RequireJS? Not much online help available on using the library available. Error handling and exception management is difficult in Require JS. anonymous define error is too common. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering RequireJS: Its basically on the overall requirements of the project. One can definitely go for Require JS if single page application is required, but if a complex multiple page application is required then it depends a lot on overall requirements. There may be other libraries that could be better suitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RequireJS solving and how is that benefiting you?
