Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

RequireJS in the TYPO3 Backend

Since TYPO3 CMS 7 it is possible to use RequireJS in the backend. A short explanation: RequireJS enables developers to have some kind of dependency handling for JavaScript. The JavaScript is written as so-called "Asynchronous Module Definition" (AMD). Some libraries delivered with TYPO3 are written as modules.
