Requirejs - Loading modules only if a condition is true

Question

Using Requirejs, how can I load modules only if a condition is true? example, If the user is Admin, load file the module a.js.

PS: I'm using Backbone with Requirejs.

Answer 1

Something like this?

define([], function () {
    function realWork (modulea) {
        // do stuff ...
        // so stuff with modulea
        if (modulea) {
            ...
        }
    }

    if (isAdmin) {
        require(["modulea"], function (modulea) {
            realWork(modulea);
        });
    } else {
        realWork();
    }
});

You might be able to write your own requirejs plugin to tidy this up if you find yourself repeating the pattern.

OR

define(['isAdmin!modelea'], function(modulea){ 
  if (modulea) { 
    // doSomethingWithIt(); 
  } 
});
