dojo.provide

Deprecated. Use define() instead.

Old syntax:

dojo.provide("acme.Dialog");
dojo.require("dijit._Widget");
dojo.require("dojo.date");
CODE HERE

dojo.provide("acme.Dialog"); dojo.require("dijit._Widget"); dojo.require("dojo.date"); CODE HERE

New syntax:

define(["dijit/_Widget", "dojo/date"], function(_Widget, date){   ....
     CODE HERE
     return MyWidget;
});

define(["dijit/_Widget", "dojo/date"], function(_Widget, date){ .... CODE HERE return MyWidget; });

Notice that the module (a.k.a. file) itself is returning a value. That’s the way other modules access your module.

Also, notice how the module name previously listed in the dojo.provide() call (“acme.Dialog” in the example above) is not listed anymore. The file name itself suffices.
