Fathom Analytics
RequireJSRequireJS is recommended for projects that are already using it, especially if the project is large and refactoring to a different module system would be resource-intensive. It can also be suitable for legacy web applications that have complex dependency chains which have been built with AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) patterns. However, newer projects are better served with modern bundlers and native ES6 module syntax.
Based on our record, Fathom Analytics should be more popular than RequireJS. It has been mentiond 66 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
So this post is about something I've been chewing on for months but finally moved on: ripping Google Analytics out of three side projects and picking a privacy-focused alternative. Specifically, I'll compare Umami, Plausible, and Fathom โ the three I actually evaluated โ and walk through the migration steps that worked for me. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
Fathom is the most "premium" option. No self-hosted version โ it's a paid product, and they lean into that. The upside is it just works, with excellent uptime and performance. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
Fathom takes a different approach โ it's a proprietary, hosted-only product. No self-hosting option. They've bet everything on being the simplest, most privacy-respecting paid analytics tool. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
I've been using Umami for this โ it's a self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics tool that doesn't require cookie banners and is fully GDPR-compliant out of the box. Compared to alternatives like Plausible (also excellent, but their hosted plan costs more) or Fathom (hosted-only, pricier), Umami hits a sweet spot of simplicity and zero cost if you self-host. You get clean dashboards showing endpoint usage, response... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Fathom is the premium option. It's not open source and not self-hostable, but it's rock solid and has excellent uptime. Starts at $15/month. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
That's the job of Closure Compiler. Closure is an optimizing JavaScript compiler that ClojureScript is using since its initial release, in 2011. At the time JavaScript didn't have standard module format, remember AMD, UMD, RequireJS and CommonJS? Closure folks at Google invented another one, where goog.provide declares a module and goog.require imports another module. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
The fact that everything was loaded synchronously, which was not really an issue at that time when writing for servers, it was not really feasible for front-ends. Therefore RequireJS was brought to live. If you ever wondered how it looks, there is an example repository still living. If you are more interested in the history, look up: AMD, UMD, RequireJS. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
There is a library called requirejs (https://requirejs.org/) that accomplishes what I am referring to. However, this is essentially similar to the situation in PHP prior to version 5.3 - a solution implemented at the level of a separate library rather than at the language level.

Webpack is the most popular bundler and it followed on the heels of Require.js, Rollup, and similar solutions. But the learning curve for a tool like webpack is steep. Getting started with webpack isnโt easy due to its complex configurations. As a result, in recent years another solution has emerged. This tool is not necessarily a front-runner, but an easier-to-digest alternative on the front-end module bundler... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
I have a number of JavaScript "classes" each implemented in its own JavaScript file. For development those files are loaded individually, and for production they are concatenated, but in both cases I have to manually define a loading order, making sure that B comes after A if B uses A. I am planning to use RequireJS as an implementation of CommonJS Modules/AsynchronousDefinition to solve this problem for me... Source: about 4 years ago
