grunt-requirejs

Optimize require.js based projects

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide.

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

npm install grunt-requirejs

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-requirejs');

Overview

Inside your Gruntfile.js file add a section named requirejs. This section specifies the options passed to RequireJS Optimizer.

Parameters

options object

This controls how this task (and its helpers) operate and should contain key:value pairs, see options below.

Options

For a full list of possible options, see the r.js example build file.

Config Example

Example require js optimizer config entry:

  requirejs: {
    compile: {
      options: {
        baseUrl: "path/to/base",
        mainConfigFile: "path/to/config.js",
        out: "path/to/optimized.js"
      }
    }
  }

There is no difference between declaring your require config in your Gruntfile and using a separate requirejs config file.

Note: Minification via Closure Compiler is not supported! You can, however, use grunt-closure-compiler as a separate build step after grunt-requirejs.

Almond

grunt-requirejs is capable of replacing require.js with almond.js automatically

For more infos please take a look at the Almond Integration document

Using custom r.js versions

grunt-requirejs lets you specify a custom r.js for your build

For more infos please take a look at the Using Custom r.js versions document

For more infos please take a look at the Using Source Maps document
