umdjs/umd

This repository formalizes the design and implementation of the Universal Module Definition (UMD) API for JavaScript modules. These are modules which are capable of working everywhere, be it in the client, on the server or elsewhere.

The UMD pattern typically attempts to offer compatibility with the most popular script loaders of the day (e.g RequireJS amongst others). In many cases it uses AMD as a base, with special-casing added to handle CommonJS compatibility.

Variations
Regular Module
amdWeb.js - Defines a module that works with AMD and browser globals. If you also want to export a global even when AMD is in play (useful if you are loading other scripts that still expect that global), use amdWebGlobal.js.
returnExports.js - Defines a module that works in Node, AMD and browser globals. If you also want to export a global even when AMD is in play (useful if you are loading other scripts that still expect that global), use returnExportsGlobal.js.<
