Dependency Descriptor Object
Owned by Aubergine
Define one or more dependencies for your script...
Object structure
The object uses name:value pairs to define dependencies. The name is a script name, enclosed in quotes, the value is the version number or a Check.ANY_VERSION or Check.NOT_LOADED constant.
Example
var dependencies = {
"foo.js": 1.2, // require v1.2 of foo.js
"Util.js": Check.ANY_VERSION, // require any version of Util.js
"bar.js": Check.NOT_LOADED // require that bar.js isn't loaded
}
Which functions can it be used with?
The descriptor can be used with the following functions:
- Check.required() – will throw an error if dependencies are not met
- Check.doWhen() – will wait until dependencies are met then perform specified task
