Clique

Self service AMD packages.

Its generally considered better to deliver a web page's JS in as few requests as possible. The solution should be simple and not rely on a build or similiar pre-deploy step.

Minimising requests shouldn't affect cacheability. JS urls that include a unique identifier in their url (such as a version number) should still be able to be publically far-future cached and delivered in a single request.

A project's use of a JS loader should unaffected by how the JS is packaged.

npm install clique

Node

Use clique to generate the package url.

var clique = require('clique');

var url = clique.create([
    'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js',
    'http://example.com/some.js'
]);

Now in your template:

'<script type="text/javascript" src="' + url + '"></script>'

Browser

In the browser:

require(['http://clique.rhodgson.co.uk/clique.js'], function (clique) {

    var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0],
        script = document.createElement("script");

    script.url = clique.create([
        'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js',
        'http://example.com/some.js'
    ]);

    head.appendChild(script);

});
