need help migrating to AMD

Question

So i have a utilities folder with a common.js that contains a bunch of helper methods.  Pre AMD it looked like.  NO idea how to migrate to AMD.  THANKS!dojo.provide("utilities.common");

utilities.common.getType = function(value) {
    var type = "config.json";
    switch (value) {
        case "test":
            type = "config-test.json";
            break
        case "landdevelopment":
            type = "config-landdevelopment.json";
            break
        case "utilitiesinfrastructure":
            type = "config-utilitiesinfrastructure.json";
            break
        default:
            type = "config.json";

}

return type;
};

utilities.common.getFormattedServiceType = function(value) {
    var type = "Property Locator";
    var newValue = (value.replace(".json", "")).replace('config-', '');
    switch (newValue) {
        case "test":
            type = "Test";
            break
        case "landdevelopment":
            type = "Land Development";
            break
        case "utilitiesinfrastructure":
            type = "Utilities Infrastructure";
            break
        default:
            type = "Property Locator";

}

return type;
};

utilities.common.getAllNamedChildDijits = function(id) {
    // Gather all child widgets
    var w = null;
    var children = null;
    widgets = {};
    w = dojo.query("[widgetId]", dojo.byId(id));
    children = w.map(dijit.byNode);
    children.forEach(function(item, idx) {
        if (item.name) {
            widgets[item.name] = item;
        }
    });

return widgets;

};

perfect thank you.  Lots of classes to re-write.  🙂

appreciate that. I can load it from my index.html as long as i path to it correctly right? Yep. also, what about defining the components properly so in the third function i can use "query" instead of "dojo.query"? My mistake, missed those refs initially. Do what zj_zou says: load your dependencies using an array of module identifiers for the first arg to define(). Also make sure you return the object you create like so: define(["dojo/dom", "dojo/query"], function(dom, query) { return { getType: function(value) { var type = "config.json"; switch (value) { case "test": type = "config-test.json"; break case "landdevelopment": type = "config-landdevelopment.json"; break case "utilitiesinfrastructure": type = "config-utilitiesinfrastructure.json"; break default: type = "config.json"; } return type; }, getFormattedServiceType: function(value) { var type = "Property Locator"; var newValue = (value.replace(".json", "")).replace('config-', ''); switch (newValue) { case "test": type = "Test"; break case "landdevelopment": type = "Land Development"; break case "utilitiesinfrastructure": type = "Utilities Infrastructure"; break default: type = "Property Locator"; } return type; }, getAllNamedChildDijits: function(id) { // Gather all child widgets var w = null; var children = null; widgets = {}; w = query("[widgetId]", dom.byId(id)); children = w.map(dijit.byNode); children.forEach(function(item, idx) { if (item.name) { widgets[item.name] = item; } }); return widgets; } } }); Here's a test page that loads and calls two of your functions (I renamed common.js from my previous example to common-deps.js):
