Question

So I’m using the Dojo 1.7 ‘require’ syntax to fire off two modules. However, the order that these modules are called is important, as one works on the results of the other.

I can’t just lay them out procedurally… how do I ensure they fire in order?

require(['modules/createElements', 'dojo/domReady!'], 
    function(createElements) {
        createElements.go();
});

require(['modules/modifyElements', 'dojo/domReady!'], 
    function(modifyElements) {
        // This is supposed to modify the elements created
        // by the createElements module, but it usually fires
        // _before_ the elements have been created!
        modifyElements.go();
});

Ideally I’d like the two modules to be more-or-less independent of eachother (e.g. so that modifyElements can act on elements created by any source), so calling modifyElements at the end of createElements is not desirable.

Aha, I realized moments after posting this that I can just do all my work from within a single require, like so:

require(['modules/createElements', 'modules/modifyElements', 'dojo/domReady!'],
    function(createElements, modifyElements) {
        createElements.go();
        modifyElements.go();
});
