Acquire

Lightweight require() script and file loader with caching

Usage

Loader

require.load([
	'/application/bar.js',
	'/application/template.html',
	'/application/circle2.js',  
	'/application/circle1.js'],
	function() {
		require('/test.js');
	});

circle1.js

require('/application/circle2.js')();

module.exports = function() {
	console.log('circle-1');
}

Why not X ?

• Wanted a combination of Node style requiring with optional async callback
• Wanted a preloader, but didn't want preloading to be a requirement
• Wanted to auto parse JSON Data
• Wanted something that would not conflict with other require methods (ie. Cordova)
• Wanted the ability to control the initial cache if integrating to watchers and optimizers
• Wanted the ability to overwrite core methods
• Wanted a simple readable implementation

Requires

• jQuery - http://jquery.com/download/
