JavaScript Anywhere

Over the last few weeks, I’ve converted all of my open source scripts to a UMD pattern.

UMD, or Universal Module Definition, is a simple wrapper around your code that allows it to run both in a browser and on a server (and theoretically, other places, too). While not formally registered, I also added instructions on installing the scripts with NPM, Bower, and Component using the GitHub hook if any of those are your thing.

The boilerplate I use to start all of my scripts is available on GitHub if you want to give UMD a go yourself. Major kudos to Todd Motto for helping me get started.
