Bundle the js files based on requirejs structure - angularjs

We have requirejs.
I have mentioned the paths and the shim in requirejs.
Here, when I load the controller in angularjs router, the files are loading separately.
require.config({
urlArgs: "bust=" + (new Date()).getTime(),
baseUrl: 'Folder',
waitSeconds: 200,
paths: {
// Jquery
'Angular': 'Angular path',
'FileA': 'FileA',
'FileB': 'FileB',
},
shim: {
'FileB'{
Deps:'FileA'
},
'FileA'{
Deps:'Angular'
},
}
When I require FileB, it will automatically retrieve fileA and angular file.
But in this case, I am requesting three http request for the three files.
Is there any solution that, based on requirejs structure bundling the files?
So that when I request the file, I will get the single file instead of multiple files

If there is any dependency between the files that you are trying to bundle then bundling them in separate files doesn't make any sense.
However if you are sure that dependencies would not be any problem you can use bundle a new feature from requirejs:
requirejs.config({
bundles: {
'shared': ['angular'],
'fileA': ['fileA'],
'fileB': ['fileB'],
// etc...
}
});
Also you can add your template to the bundle which is awesome. More info here.

r.js cannot resolve dependencies mentioned in shim

I've recently joined a project which is built using Backbonejs, (uses Marionette for view rendering) + nodejs. They also use requirejs to load the backbonejs files. Would like to add at this stage, that I've never worked with backbonejs or requirejs before and hence I'm struggling with the issue I describe later.
Some code that will help explain the issue that I run into (All this code was already written by previous dev's)
Folder Structure:
/public
/js
/collection (consists all Backbone.js collections files)
/lib
/bower_components
/backone
/marionette
/etc
/models (consists all Backbone.js models files)
/views (consists all Backbone.js view files)
/main.js
/main.build.js
/app.js
/controller.js
/router.js
Code from files that I think relate to issue:

...some view code
});
Use case I'm trying to solve:
So when I access the site in the browser, I notice in the debugger that it loads all the js files right at the beginning. During the load process my site is blank and user has to wait a while before he can use the site.
So what I've been able to understand is that when app is 'started' in main.js, app.js creates an instance of rootView.js , which in turn has all the views listed as dependencies. This triggers a download request for all the other views which in turn would solve their own dependencies and download all the relevant models and collections. Hence all files being downloaded when the user accessed the site.
Solution I've been trying:
Since requirejs is being used, I'm trying to use r.js to optimize and combine all the js files to reduce the number of downloads.
Issue I'm running into:
When i run r.js. i get the following error
Tracing dependencies for: main
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/node_projects/rm/rm.src.server/src/public/js/underscore.js'
In module tree:
main
app
Error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/node_projects/rm/rm.src.server/src/public/js/underscore.js'
In module tree:
main
app
at Error (native)
If I add the underscore.js files directly to the specified path in the error, then I get the same error for marionette.js. What I think is happening is that app.js is not recognizing the shim'ed dependencies and hence its trying to find the files directly at specified path in the error.
Things I've tried:
- I've added wrapShim: true in the main.build.js file but that did not help
Honestly, I've been sitting on this for a couple of days and I'm not sure what I can do next and hence this post.
Any help/direction would be appreciated.
You need to include the same shim configuration in your build file, as wrapShim is not sufficient.
If shim config is used in the app during runtime, duplicate the config here. Necessary if shim config is used, so that the shim's dependencies are included in the build. Using "mainConfigFile" is a better way to pass this information though, so that it is only listed in one place. However, if mainConfigFile is not an option, the shim config can be inlined in the build config.

Chrome extension using RequireJS, Backbone (Chaplin) conflicts

I am creating a Google Chrome Extension that have to add content on the visited websites (like a toolbox).
I have to use RequireJS and BackboneJS (Chaplin) and everything is ok except when i'm visiting a website using RequireJS (and Backbone, but the problem seems to come from RequireJS conflicts).
(This is when I use content scripts to include a -script- tag that includes RequireJS.)
I suppose it's normal to have conflicts if I add content directly in the page so I tried the solution here : Loading multiple instances of requireJS and Backbone
It seems to work (for now), but the website is trying to reload his own RequireJS file (with his path, but in my extension) before loading mine and I'm afraid it could lead to unexpected behaviour.
Plus, I have to precise my file paths in requirejs.config or it's looking for them in Bitbucket sources (cloudfront). (Maybe it's normal though)
Example with bitbucket :
Denying load of chrome-extension://mgncmiffelpdhlbkkmmaedbodabdchea/https://d3oaxc4q5k2d6q.cloudfront.net/m/7aaf1677069c/amd/build/main.js?8uxr. Resources must be listed in the web_accessible_resources manifest key in order to be loaded by pages outside the extension.
<--------- This file is Bitbucket's RequireJS, Bitbucket is still working fine though
Is there another solution I didn't find yet ? Or am I doing it wrong ? I'm a beginner with RequireJS (and Chrome ext.. and Backbone...) so I might have missed something.
Here is the Content script part in manifest.json
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://*/*", "http://*/*"],
"js": ["bower_components/requirejs/require.js",
"extension/init-app.js",
"extension/main.js"]
}],
init-app.js is Rob's script
require.load = function(context, moduleName, url) {
url = chrome.extension.getURL(url);
var x = new XMLHttpRequest();
// Append Math.random()... to bust the cache
x.open('GET', url + '?' + Math.random().toString(36).slice(-4));
x.onload = function() {
var code = x.responseText;
x += '\n//# sourceURL=' + url; // Optional, for debugging.
window.eval(code);
context.completeLoad(moduleName);
};
x.onerror = function() {
// Log error if you wish. This is usually not needed, because
// Chrome's developer tools does already log "404 Not found"
// errors for scripts to the console.
};
x.send();
};
and main.js contain requirejs.config + app
// Configure the AMD module loader
requirejs.config({
skipDataMain: true,
// The path where your JavaScripts are located
baseUrl: 'extension',
// Specify the paths of vendor libraries
paths: {
jquery: '../bower_components/jquery/jquery',
underscore: '../bower_components/lodash/dist/lodash',
backbone: '../bower_components/backbone/backbone',
handlebars: '../bower_components/handlebars/handlebars',
text: '../bower_components/requirejs-text/text',
chaplin: '../bower_components/chaplin/chaplin',
application: '/extension/application',
routes: '/extension/routes',
},
// Underscore and Backbone are not AMD-capable per default,
// so we need to use the AMD wrapping of RequireJS
shim: {
underscore: {
exports: '_'
},
backbone: {
deps: ['underscore', 'jquery'],
exports: 'Backbone'
},
handlebars: {
exports: 'Handlebars'
}
}
// For easier development, disable browser caching
// Of course, this should be removed in a production environment
//, urlArgs: 'bust=' + (new Date()).getTime()
});
// Bootstrap the application
require(['application', 'routes'], function(Application, routes) {
new Application({routes: routes, controllerPath: 'scripts/controllers/', controllerSuffix: '-controller'});
});
It works on gooogle.com for instance, but I get
GET chrome-extension://ccgfmmmnebacpnbdpdnphmnmicaooddg/extension/Home.js?9zfr net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
on https://www.cloud9trader.com (website using RequireJS) because it has
<script data-main="/0.2.59/scripts/Home.js" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/require.js/2.1.14/require.min.js"></script>
in its source. To summarize I just need the script to ignore the "current" website Require file.
The skipDataMain option is synchronously checked when require.js is loaded. Setting this variable after loading require.js has no effect on the loader any more, because the data-main scan has already run at that point.
The correct way to skip data-main is to declare the configuration before loading require.js, as follows:
// extension/config.js
var require = {
skipDataMain: true
};
manifest.json:
{
...
"content_scripts": [{
"matches": ["https://*/*", "http://*/*"],
"js": [
"extension/config.js",
"bower_components/requirejs/require.js",
"extension/init-app.js",
"extension/main.js"
]
}],
...
}

Issues initialising AngularStrap with Require.js

I'm looking to use AngularStrap in an existing Angular.js application which is using require.js as the module loader. I'm having trouble getting AngularStrap loaded correctly in the application. When I try to include 'angularStrap' in my Angular module, it fails to initialise. Below is an extract from my requirejs config.
paths: {
'angular' : 'lib/angularjs/angular',
'angularStrap': 'lib/angularstrap/angular-strap',
'angularStrapTpl': 'lib/angularstrap/angular-strap.tpl',
},
shim: {
'angularStrap' : {
deps : [ 'angular', 'angularStrapTpl' ],
},
}
Has anyone managed to use AngularStrap with require.js? I suspect my dependencies are slightly incorrect.
Yo need to add angular-animate to your requirejs configuration.

jQuery File Upload doesn't work in IE9 when compressed with Requirejs

My code uses Backbone with Requirejs and jQuery File Upload and works perfectly in IE 9 when I access the development code directly (without building). As soon as I build it something goes wrong and the request is sent empty to the server.
The only difference I see in the request (using Network capturing in IE9) is that the one that works when I click in the upload button, the Initiator is click, and for the one that fails, the initiator is JS Library XMLHttpRequest.
So there must be something making the event change when the code gets compressed, but I have no idea how to get closer to the root of the problem.
Any ideas?
Are you requiring the iFrame Transport plugin?
I am using jQuery File Upload with Requirejs, and have not seen this issue. Without seeing some code, it is hard to say what is tripping up your application. I suggest updating your question with some relevant code. In the meantime, here is what is working for me.
main.js
require.config({
appDir: '../',
baseUrl: 'js/',
paths: {
underscore: '../vendor/lodash.underscore',
backbone: '../vendor/backbone',
'jquery.fileupload': '../vendor/jquery-file-upload/js/jquery.fileupload',
'jquery.iframe-transport': '../vendor/jquery-file-upload/js/jquery.iframe-transport',
'jquery.ui.widget': '../vendor/jquery-file-upload/js/jquery.ui.widget'
},
shim: {
underscore: {
exports: '_'
},
backbone: {
deps: ['underscore', 'jquery'],
exports: 'Backbone'
}
}
});
And in the page that houses the upload control:
UploadPage.js
define([
'views/Base',
'jquery.iframe-transport',
'jquery.fileupload'
], function(BaseView) {
return BaseView.extend({
// Do cool stuff
});
});

Requirejs Optimize project to single file

With a Build configuration as below, Why am i seeing all the files in source directory + minified application file when i run the deploy command specified below. I only need a single js file that will kickoff my backbone application
Build Config
({
appDir: "../",
baseUrl: 'Comment',
dir: './deploy',
optimize: 'uglify',
paths: {
text: '../../amd/plugins/text',
CommentView: 'views/feedback',
Feedback: 'models/feedback',
templates: 'templates'
},
modules: [
{
name: "app"
}
]
})
App.js
require.config({
urlArgs: "bust=" + (new Date()).getTime(),
baseUrl: 'scripts/apps/feedback',
paths: {
text: '../../amd/plugins/text',
CommentView: 'views/feedback',
Feedback: 'models/feedback',
templates: 'templates'
}
});
require(["Feedback", "CommentView"], function (feedbackModel, commentView) {
});
Optimization Command
node amd/plugins/r.js -o apps/feedback/build.config.js
By default, the requirejs optimizer does not remove modules from the output. Check the contents of your built app.js, I would guess that it has all of your modules in it. The individual modules shouldn't cause any problems and won't be used, but if you really went to get rid of them, try setting removeCombined: true in your build config.
