My development config (in index.html file) for RequireJS is:
<script src=require-2.1.5.min.js></script>
<script>
require.config({
baseUrl: 'js',
paths: {
angular: 'libraries/angular-1.1.5.min',
jquery: 'libraries/jquery-2.0.0.min',
underscore: 'libraries/underscore-1.4.4.min',
...
zeroclipboard: 'plugins/zeroclipboard-1.0.7.min',
tablesorter: 'plugins/jquery.tablesorter-2.9.1.min',
...
},
shim: {
'angular': {
exports: 'angular'
},
'underscore': {
exports: '_'
}
},
packages: [
{
name: 'index',
location: 'app/index',
main: 'main'
}
]
});
require(['index']);
</script>
But on production I have only 2 concatenated files for libraries and plugins:
js/libraries.js // all jQuery, AngularJS, RequireJS, Underscore and other libraries concatenated
js/plugins.js // all plugins (already an AMD modules, no need for shim config) concatenated
So, how do I write my config paths now? I don't have any 'libraries/angular-1.1.5.min.js' and other paths.
My solution is to write:
paths: {
angular: 'libraries',
underscore: 'libraries'
}
I associate AngularJS and Underscore to 'libraries.js' file and everything works perfect. (No need for jQuery and all plugins — they are already an AMD modules).
But is that a right way to write paths? My solution seems to me kinda dirty workaround, not the best practices solution.
My r.js build process:
({
baseUrl: 'scripts',
paths: {
jquery: 'jquery-2.0.0.min',
...
tablesorter: 'jquery.tablesorter-2.0.5.min',
zeroclipboard: 'zeroclipboard-1.0.7.min'
},
name: 'foo/main',
exclude: [
'angular',
'jquery',
...
'tablesorter',
'zeroclipboard'
],
optimize: 'uglify',
out: 'production/js/foo.js'
})
UPD 1:
What I want:
www.mysite.com/about.html:
<script src=js/libraries.js></script><-- jQuery (already AMD), AngularJS (not AMD), RequireJS, Underscore (not AMD) and other libraries already here, only 1 http request needed //-->
<script src=js/plugins.js></script><-- all AMD //-->
<script>
require.config({
baseUrl: 'js',
paths: {
angular: WHAT I NEED TO WRITE HERE?,
underscore: WHAT I NEED TO WRITE HERE?
},
shim: {
'angular': {
exports: 'angular'
},
'underscore': {
exports: '_'
}
},
packages: [
{
name: 'about',
location: 'js',
main: 'about'
}
]
});
require(['about']); // will load js/about.js
</script>
UPD 2:
Ok, it is clear about priority, so, I don't need for first and second «script» tags (but I need to separate Require.js from libraries.js) — RequireJS will load them automatically. But what should be done with non-AMD libraries in libraries.js file?
AngularJS and UnderscoreJS are non-AMD modules, that is why I have to use shim, right? But to make shim work, I need to use paths also, so shim can locate shimmed modules, right? But I still have only 1 file — libraries.js and I cannot write it in path option… Just really stuck…
