Overview of this book

Programming in the modular manner is always encouraged for bigger systems—it is easier to achieve scalability with modular programming. Even JavaScript developers are now interested in building programs in a modular pattern. Modules help people who aren’t yet familiar with code to find what they are looking for and also makes it easier for programmers to keep things that are related close together. Designing and implementing applications in a modular manner is highly encouraged and desirable in both simple and enterprise level applications. This book covers some real-life examples of modules and how we can translate that into our world of programming and application design. After getting an overview of JavaScript object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts and their practical usage, you should be able to write your own object definitions using the module pattern. You will then learn to design and augment modules and will explore the concepts of cloning, inheritance, sub-modules, and code extensibility. You will also learn about SandBoxing, application design, and architecture based on modular design concepts. Become familiar with AMD and CommonJS utilities. By the end of the book, you will be able to build spectacular modular applications in JavaScript.

Application architecture overview


To create a truly modular design for our application, we need to break it down into smaller functional pieces, in such a way that each piece will specialize in and be responsible for very specific tasks. This enables us to achieve the principle of separation of concerns and responsibilities.

The following diagram provides a depiction of our overall application design:

As you can see, our application consists of four main pieces:

  • Base

  • Sandbox

  • Core

  • Component

At the same time, each main piece may consist of other smaller pieces which are packaged together to create the main piece.

Let's start by exploring each main piece of the application and looking at the specific functionality that each piece provides.

For our purposes in this book, from this point forward, when I talk about components, I'll be referring to modules that have user interface pieces (views) which the user is able to interact with, such as the header component. However, when I refer to modules I will...
