UMD seems to be not quite clear for cases when you need multiple dependencies or none

[SergeyLastochkin]

Provided UMD templates follow assumption that module "definedInTemplate" is dependent on module "b".

But how should UMD-compliant systems look like when module "definedInTemplate" is dependent on a FEW modules like "a", "b", "c"?

Or how to express in UMD-compliant way a case where module "definedInTemplate" is not dependent on any modules at all?

Also, regarding template for jQuery plugin - what if that plugin dependent not only on JQuery but on, for example, root, or other modules? Do you provide those in order of factory(jQuery, root, a, b, c); or as factory(a, b, c, root, jQuery);

1. To use multiple dependencies you simply pass to the function more libraries, like so:
   • define(['b', 'c', 'jequery'], factory);
   • module.exports = factory(require('b'), require('c'), require('jequery'));
   • root.definedInTemplate = factory(root.b, root.c, root.jQuery);
2. As for the use of 'root', you're right, it is not realy accounted for. But you could modify the template so that you bind the root to the function:

    // replace
    factory()
    //with
    (factory.bind(root))()

   Then you can use 'this' within the function:

   function factory () {
       console.log(this);
       // expected output: the root object
   }

3. For a module with no libraries, there is a template at the bottom of this file.
