Exposing jQuery plugins via require, instead of accessing them via the jQuery global object.

gistfile1.js

// Returning the jQuery plugin at the end of its requirejs module.

return function( $elem, options ) {
  return $elem.someJQueryPlugin.apply($elem, Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments, 1 ));
};

// Instead of this:

$foo.someJQueryPlugin({'bar': true});

// More like this:

var thePlugin = require('path/to/plugins/someJQueryPlugin')

thePlugin($foo, {'bar': true});

// Aside from letting you use jQuery plugins in an AMD/DI setting, also optimizes your minification:

a(b,{'bar':true});

// instead of

b.someJQueryPlugin({'bar':true});
