I am new to requireJS and tring to learn it so that i can use it in my current application.


While reading API documentation of requireJS, I came across bundles (http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config-bundles) as configuration option of requireJS

requirejs.config({

    bundles: {

        'primary': ['main', 'util', 'text', 'text!template.html'],

        'secondary': ['text!secondary.html']

    }

});



require(['util', 'text'], function(util, text) {

    //The script for module ID 'primary' was loaded,

    //and that script included the define()'d

    //modules for 'util' and 'text'

});

API Explanation :


Bundles config is useful if doing a build and that build target was not an existing module ID, or if you have loader plugin resources in built JS files that should not be loaded by the loader plugin.

But here I am not able to understand that why we need bundle and when we should use use it?
