als-require/docs/01-about.md

A utility for using CommonJS require in the browser and creating bundles.

# als-require

`als-require` is a lightweight library for importing, modifying, and executing CommonJS modules in both browser and Node.js environments. It simplifies modular development by supporting dependency resolution, plugins for code transformation, and dynamic bundling.


**Capabilities of `als-require`**:

- Import and execute CommonJS modules in NodeJs and browser with dependency resolution.
- Dynamically bundle modules into a single executable function.
- Transform module code using custom plugins before execution.
- Support for cyclic dependency detection and flexible logging options.


## In version 3

- code refactoring
- improved getting node modules on NodeJs (not in browser)
- Changed constructor
  - Now it has options (`{plugins=[],cyclicDependencies,logger}`)
- No `build` and `bundle` methods. `fn` and `stringFn` methods instead
  - `fn(options = {scriptBefore='', scriptAfter='', parameters=[]}) `
  - `stringFn(options = {scriptBefore='', scriptAfter='', parameters=[],name})`
- no minifying and minifying options
  - The goal make it more simple. You can minify it separately
- plugins for modifying content
- no context
  - You can add it as parameter to fn and pass as parameter's value
