Is there a way to check automatically if the JavaScript module is compatible with CommonJS (Node) or AMD formats? Also, how can I write it as a Grunt task?
Compatibility is an important feature of the module and should be able to be checked automatically, at least to some extent. For example, changing a building’s configuration can lead to a compilation error that cannot be noticed by unit tests that use only the module’s browser interface, as is the case with QUnit. It may also be possible that compilation compatibility code (for example, a homemade UMD wrapper ) is so confused that it is difficult to say if a change in another place in the code can affect part of the compilation of the code.
You can use tools that probably generate the correct shells of different module formats. For example, grunt-umd and uRequire are such tools, but since they also depend on the build configuration, how can you be sure that a compromise really exists without any testing?
