JohnnyDepp

JohnnyDepp is a tiny dependency manager for modern browsers (992 bytes).

Dependency Status devDependency Status

Introduction

JohnnyDepp is a tiny dependency manager for modern browsers (IE10+) that lets you fetch JavaScript, CSS and image files in parallel and execute code after your dependencies have been met. JohnnyDepp allows you to define code bundles and lazy-load the necessary files when you need them using the library’s require() method. Each file will only be downloaded once so multiple calls to require() won’t trigger duplicate downloads. The recommended way to use JohnnyDepp is to include the minified source of depp.js in your <html> (possibly in the <head> tag) and then use the depp global to manage your dependencies after pageload.

JohnnyDepp is based on the LoadJS library which powers the file fetching and error handling functionality behind the scenes. JohnnyDepp loads JavaScript files with async: false which means they will be downloaded in parallel and executed in series. If you’re looking for a lower level async loading library you should check out LoadJS to see if that meets your needs.

Here’s an example of what you can do with JohnnyDepp:

// define dependencies
depp.define({
  'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js'],
  'plugin1': ['#jquery', '/path/to/plugin1.js', '/path/to/plugin1.css', '/path/to/plugin1.png'],
  'plugin2': ['#jquery', '/path/to/plugin2.js', '/path/to/plugin2.css', '/path/to/plugin2.png']
});

// load dependencies
depp.require(['plugin1', 'plugin2'], function() {
  /* plugin1 and plugin2 are ready to be used */
});

The latest version of JohnnyDepp can be found in the dist/ directory in this repository:

You can also use it as a CJS or AMD module:

$ npm install --save johnnydepp
var depp = require('johnnydepp');

depp.define({
  'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js'],
  'plugin1': ['#jquery', '/path/to/plugin1.js', '/path/to/plugin1.css', '/path/to/plugin1.png'],
  'plugin2': ['#jquery', '/path/to/plugin2.js', '/path/to/plugin2.css', '/path/to/plugin2.png']
});

depp.require(['plugin1', 'plugin2'], function() {
  /* plugin1 and plugin2 are ready to be used */
});

JohnnyDepp is 992 bytes (minified + gzipped).

Quickstart

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script src="//cdn.rawgit.com/muicss/johnnydepp/0.1.0/dist/depp.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      // define dependencies
      depp.define({
        'jquery': [
          '//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js'
        ],
        'jquery-ui': [

          '//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/cupertino/jquery-ui.css'
        ]
      });

      // load dependencies
      depp.require(['jquery-ui'], function() {
        $(function() {
          $("#datepicker").datepicker();
        });
      });

Examples

  1. Fetch a file bundle and execute code after the dependencies have been met

    depp.define({
      'mybundle': ['/path/to/file.js', '/path/to/file.css', '/path/to/file.png']
    });
    
    depp.require(['mybundle'], function() {
      /* file.js, file.css and file.png loaded successfully */
    });
    
  2. Fetch multiple bundles

    depp.define({
      'bundle1': ['/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css', '/path/to/bundle1.png'],
      'bundle2': ['/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css', '/path/to/bundle2.png']
    });
    
    depp.require(['bundle1', 'bundle2'], function() {
      /* files for bundle1 and bundle2 loaded successfully */
    });
    
  3. Fetch bundles with nested dependencies

    depp.define({
      'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js'],
      'bundle1': ['#jquery', '/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css', '/path/to/bundle1.png'],
      'bundle2': ['#jquery', '/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css', '/path/to/bundle2.png']
    });
    
    depp.require(['bundle1'], function() {
      /* jquery and bundle1 loaded successfully */
    });
    
    depp.require(['bundle2'], function() {
      /* jquery and bundle2 loaded successfully */
    });
    
  4. Register bundle loads manually

    if (window.jQuery) depp.done('jquery');
    else depp.define({'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js']});
    
    depp.require(['jquery'], function() {
      /* jquery has loaded */
    });
    
  5. Register require callbacks before defining bundles

    // register callback first
    depp.require(['bundle1', 'bundle2'], function() {
      /* jquery, bundle1 and bundle2 loaded successfully */
    });
    
    // define bundles later
    depp.define({
      'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js'],
      'bundle1': ['#jquery', '/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css', '/path/to/bundle1.png'],
      'bundle2': ['#jquery', '/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css', '/path/to/bundle2.png']
    });
    
  6. Execute an error callback

    depp.define({
      'bundle1': ['/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css', '/path/to/bundle1.png'],
      'bundle2': ['/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css', '/path/to/bundle2.png']
    });
    
    depp.require(
      ['bundle1', 'bundle2'],
      function() {
        /* bundle1 and bundle2 loaded successfully */
      },
      function(firstPathNotFound) {
        // log reason for failure
        console.log(firstPathNotFound + ' not found');
      }
    });
    
  7. Implement SRI security checks

    depp.define({
      'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js'],
      'plugin1': ['#jquery', '/path/to/jquery-plugin1.js'],
      'plugin2': ['#jquery', '/path/to/jquery-plugin2.js']
    });
    
    depp.config({
      before: function(path, scriptEl) {
        if (path === '/path/to/jquery.js') scriptEl.integrity = 'shaXXX-hashgoeshere';
        else if (path === '/path/to/jquery-plugin1.js') scriptEl.integrity = 'shaXXX-hashgoeshere';
        else if (path === '/path/to/jquery-plugin2.js') scriptEl.integrity = 'shaXXX-hashgoeshere';
        else return;
    
        scriptEl.crossOrigin = 'anonymous';
      }
    });
    
    depp.require(['plugin1', 'plugin2'], function() {
      /* plugin1 and plugin2 loaded successfully */
    });
    

Documentation

API

define() - Define file bundles

define(bundleDefs)

  * bundleDefs {Object} - A mapping between bundle names and file paths

Examples:

1. Define a file bundle containing JavaScript, CSS and image files:

   depp.define({
     'mybundle': ['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.css', '/path/to/thunk.png']
   });

2. Define multiple bundles simultaneously:

   depp.define({
     'bundle1': ['/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css', '/path/to/bundle1.png'],
     'bundle2': ['/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css', '/path/to/bundle1.png']
   });

3. Define multiple bundles separately:

   // define first bundle
   depp.define({
     'bundle1': ['/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css', '/path/to/bundle1.png']
   });

   // define second bundle
   depp.define({
     'bundle2': ['/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css', '/path/to/bundle2.png']
   });

4. Define bundles with nested dependencies:

   depp.define({
     'bundle1': ['/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css'],
     'bundle2': ['#bundle1', '/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css']
   });

5. Force treat files as CSS stylesheets and images:

   depp.define({
     'mybundle': [
       'css!/path/to/cssfile.custom',
       'img!/path/to/image.custom'
     ]
   });

require() - Load file bundles and execute callback functions

require(bundleList[, successFn[, errorFn]])

  * bundleList {Array or String} - A single bundle name or an array of names
  * successFn {Function} - Callback function to execute when dependencies have been met (optional)
  * errorFn {Function} - Callback function to execute on first dependency failure (optional)

Examples:

1. Load a file bundle and execute code when the dependencies have been met:

   depp.define({'mybundle': ['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js']});

   depp.require(['mybundle'], function() {
     /* foo.js and bar.js loaded */
   });

2. Define bundles after registering require callback

   depp.require(['mybundle'], function() {
     /* foo.js and bar.js loaded */
   });

   depp.define({'mybundle': ['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js']});

3. Define an error callback:

   depp.define({
     'bundle1': ['/path/to/bundle1.js', '/path/to/bundle1.css'],
     'bundle2': ['/path/to/bundle2.js', '/path/to/bundle2.css']
   });

   depp.require(
     ['bundle1', 'bundle2'],
     function() {
       // file bundles loaded successfully
     },
     function(firstPathNotFound) {
       // log reason for failure
       console.log(firstPathNotFound + ' not found');
     }
   );

config() - Configure library

config(configObj)
   
  * configObj {Object}
    * before {Function} - Callback function to execute before every file load

Examples:

1. Load external JavaScript files using SRI security:

   depp.config({
     before: function(path, scriptEl) {
       /* called for each script node before being embedded */
       if (path === '/path/to/foo.js') {
         scriptEl.integrity = 'shaXXX-hashgoeshere';
         scriptEl.crossOrigin = true;
       }
     }
   });

isDefined() - Check if a bundle has already been defined

isDefined(bundleName)

  * bundleName {String} - The bundle name

Examples:

1. Check if a bundle has already been defined elsewhere:

   if (!depp.isDefined('mybundle')) {
     depp.define({'mybundle': ['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js']});
   }
   

done() - Register bundle load manually

done(bundleName)

* bundleName {String} - The bundle name

Examples:

1. Register bundle loads manually

   if (window.jQuery) depp.done('jquery');
   else depp.define({'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js']});

   depp.require(['jquery'], function() {
     /* jquery has loaded successfully */
   });

2. Register bundle loads after registering require callback

   depp.require(['jquery'], function() {
     /* jquery has loaded successfully */
   });

   if (window.jQuery) depp.done('jquery');
   else depp.define({'jquery': ['/path/to/jquery.js']});

reset() - Reset dependency trackers and bundle definitions

reset()

Examples:

1. Remove all dependency trackers and bundle definitions from the JohnnyDepp library:

   // define bundles
   depp.define({'mybundle': ['/path/to/foo.js', '/path/to/bar.js']});

   // remove all trackers and definitions
   depp.reset();

Async Loading

To make it easy to use JohnnyDepp asynchronously, the library dispatches a ‘depp-load’ browser event that will notify you when the library is ready to be used:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script>
      // use the `depp-load` event to detect load time
      document.addEventListener('depp-load', function() {
        // now the `depp` global object is available
        depp.define({
          'jquery': [
            '//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js'
          ],
          'jquery-ui': [
            '#jquery',
            '//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js',
            '//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/cupertino/jquery-ui.css'
          ]
        });

        // load dependencies
        depp.require(['jquery-ui'], function() {
          $(function() {
            $("#datepicker").datepicker();
          });
        });
      });
    </script>
    <script src="//cdn.rawgit.com/muicss/johnnydepp/0.1.0/dist/depp.min.js" async></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
  </body>
</html>
