What are AMD modules and how do they work?

AMD stands for Asynchronous Module Definition. It's a specification for defining modules in JavaScript that allows for asynchronous loading.

Can you explain how AMD differs from CommonJS?

Sure! CommonJS is synchronous and designed for server-side, while AMD is asynchronous and better suited for the browser.

What are some popular libraries that use AMD?

RequireJS is a popular library that implements AMD, allowing you to load JavaScript modules asynchronously.

How do I define a module using AMD?

You can define a module using the define function, specifying its dependencies and the factory function that returns the module.

Can you give me a simple code example?

Certainly! Here's a basic example:

define(['dependency'], function(dependency) {
    return {
        method: function() {
            dependency.doSomething();
        }
    };
});
