SitePen: Creating and Enhancing Dojo Classes

   Hi,
   Maybe you’ll be able to help me with understanding new way of class definition in new dojo. I’m using latest version of dojo. I try to define a few classes in separate files. Example (js/TwitterManager.js):

   require([ "dojo/_base/declare", "dojo/request/script"],
       function( declare, script)
       {
          declare("TwitterManager", script, {
               // The default username
               username: "defaultUser",
               get: function()
               {
                   script.get("http://search.twitter.com/search.json", {
                           jsonp: "callback",
                           query: {q: "#dojo"}
                       }).then(function(response){
                           //we're only interested in response.results, so strip it off and return it
                           return response.results;
                       });
               }
           });});
   

   Then I try to instantiate this class in main file (index.html):

   require(["dojo/on", "dojo/dom", "dojo/query",  "dojo/mouse", "dojo/domReady!"],
       function(on, dom, query, mouse) {
           var x = new TwitterManager();
           var results = x.get();
   });
   

   This code doesn’t work. But when I remove from class definition “request/script” module it works fine. I really need to use “script.get” method in this class. Of course all code might be put in index.html :) but I look for OOP approach in dojo 1.8.

   Thanks
