Web Designer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/6/2019 "Require.js library offers a robust way of importing modules" 4.5/5 What do you like best about RequireJS?

RequireJS brings the convenience of lazy file loading, thereby, also reducing the startup time and consuming less browser cache. With RequireJS, the developer doesn't need to take care of the order in which all the different Javascript files need to be defined, as it can be handled with the data-main attribute mentioned with initializing RequireJS file in the HTML page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RequireJS? Though RequireJS provides good code splitting support, it is sometimes a pain to set up RequireJS with Node Package Manager (NPM). Also, if your code splitting strategy is not right, RequireJS would throw errors which are very difficult to backtrack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering RequireJS: The most important suggestion to any developer looking forward to using RequireJS would be, to keep alias paths for all the external dependencies that one is using with RequireJS. It is a very common issue in a web application that the location of your dependencies may change while merging different versions of code. Also, the code splitting should be uniform. Without this, RequireJS may throw difficult-to-track errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RequireJS solving and how is that benefiting you? Once RequireJS is properly configured, it can really boost your application's usability in terms of speed, and improve comfort for developers while juggling between different modules of JavaScript files.
