Exclude jQuery from vendor.js in ember-cli

Question

Is it possible to exclude jQuery dependency from vendor.js in ember-cli when building for production only? I want to include it separately in my site.

Answer 1

You can control which files will be used in development or production using a hash like configuration. In your case you should use:

var app = new EmberApp({
  vendorFiles: {
    'jquery.js': {
      development: 'bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js',
      production: false
    }
  }
});

Refer to Customizing a built-in asset section for further info.

Answer 2

At the end the only thing worked for me was this:

var app = new EmberApp({
 vendorFiles: {
    production: false,
    development: 'bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js'
  }
});

This will exclude it in production but not in development.
