Example RequireJS synchronous call

example.js

define(['require'],function(require){ // 'require' is a reserved dependency keyword in RequireJS

 //if we know for sure that some-module is already loaded, then we can load it here synchrounously
 //we don't even need to reference it in the dependency array above, if we know it's already loaded
   var module = require('some-module'); 

});

//the above can shortened to this:

define(function(require){ 

   var module = require('some-module');   // *note* if some-module is already loaded in the front-end cache, this is a synchronous operation!

});


// are you starting to see it? the two different require styles above are actually equivalent in terms of functionality, but it's easier to think about the second one
