RequireJS, how to solve the problem with dependent modules?

Question

JavaScript

So, there is a schematic code:

//RequireJS 2.1.14
 
define('UI', ['API'], function (API) { // файл UI.js
        //API - object
});
define('API', ['UI'], function (UI) { // файл API.js
        //UI - undefined
});
 
require(['UI', 'API'], function(UI, API) {}); // вызываем все из файла min.'s

From the example, there is an attempt to use modules connected to each other, however, in the API module, the UI module will not be defined. Because RequireJS loads libs in the order specified in require(['UI', 'API'].
Is there a way to overcome this problem?

Answer 1

Your problem is that both modules depend on each other.
In general, this is not entirely correct (architecturally).

Answer 2

@Fr3nzy rightly pointed out that the existence of such a dependency most often points to bad architecture. Anyway, in the RequireJS manual there is this section requirejs.org/docs/api.html#circular
