Problems with using AlertifyJS in Ember-CLI

[mikeazo]

I'm trying to use AlertifyJS with Ember-CLI and couldn't get AlertifyJS to load properly. Ember-CLI currently has problems with unnamed AMD, which is how AlertifyJS is configured.

To figure out a solution to the problem, I dug through d3js code to see how it works (as it works fine with Ember-CLI). This is how d3 loads

if (typeof define === "function" && define.amd) define(d3);
  else if (typeof module === "object" && module.exports) module.exports = d3;
  this.d3 = d3;

AlertifyJS, on the other hand does:

// CommonJS
    if ( typeof module === 'object' && typeof module.exports === 'object' ) {
        module.exports = alertify;
    // AMD
    } else if ( typeof define === 'function' ) {
        define( [], function () {
            return alertify;
        } );
    // window
    } else if ( !window.alertify ) {
        window.alertify = alertify;
    }

Notice the difference on the AMD, d3 checks for define.amd while AlertifyJS does not. If I add that check into AlertifyJS, the third if case fires and I have access to window.alertify within my project. As a side, also doing what d3 does this.alertify=alertify works too.

I personally like the this.alertify=alertify method, but the window.alertify=alertify is workable.

Thanks for the details. window will be this when the context has no window.(see this line).

I'll add define.amd check soon.
