These files demonstrate how to make JavaScript / CoffeeScript modules which work in CommonJS, AMD, and vanilla browser environments.

MultiModule.coffee

((name, global, definition) ->
  if module?
    module.exports = definition()
  else if define? and typeof define.amd is 'object'
    define definition
    # alternatively define name definition
  else
    global[name] = definition()
)('name', @, ->
  # return module definition here
)

MultiModule.js

(function (name, global, definition) {
  if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {
    module.exports = definition();
  } else if (typeof define !== 'undefined' && typeof define.amd === 'object') {
    define(definition);
    // alternatively define(name, definition);
  } else {
    global[name] = definition();
  }
})('name', this, function () {
  // return module definition here
});
