I've been using RequireJS for dependency management and must say that I love it - JavaScript has really matured recently.
However, one thing I cannot figure out is this: When using the optimizer to bundle all my JavaScript modules into one file, how can I keep loading some thirt party scripts (such as jquery) from an external CDN URL instead of having to bundle it with my application code?

RequireJS has been a hugely influential and important tool in the JavaScript world. It's still used in many solid, well-written projects today.
2 Answers. Show activity on this post. require(["jquery"], function ($) { function doStuff(a, b) { //does some stuff } $('#the-button'). click(function() { doStuff(4, 2); }); });
This will load jQuery from a CDN:
<script src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.1.5/comments/require.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> require.config({ paths: { "jquery": "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min" }, waitSeconds: 40 }); </script> <div id="message">hello</div> <script type="text/javascript"> require( ["jquery"], function ($) { alert($.fn.jquery + "\n" + $("#message").text()); } ); </script> Fiddle Here.
This page from the requirejs docs shows how to eliminate a path from the optimised build. Basically use the empty: scheme. Excerpt here:
node ../../r.js -o name=main out=main-built.js baseUrl=. paths.jquery=empty: If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
