While declaring a native AMD module, the module dependency names must
match with the AMD dependencies declared in the define function arguments. When there is a mismatch between a
module declared in the native module and the module system of eXo Platform, the as tag can be
used to rename the
dependencies.
There is a
foo.js
file defining an AMD module named
foo
with two dependencies
["dep1", "dep2"]
as follows:
define("foo", ["dep1", "dep2"], function(a1, a2) {
// The module
});Supposing that the dependencies are declared as
module1
and
module2
in eXo Platform and the names do not match.
To override them, use the
as
tag to rename the dependencies:
<module>
<name>foo</name>
<script>
<path>/path/to/foo.js</path>
</script>
<depends>
<module>module1</module>
<as>dep1</as>
</depends>
<depends>
<module>module2</module>
<as>dep2</as>
</depends>
</module>
