merging files with dependencies - require js - requirejs

Question

I'm using require JS.
I want to marge two files into one.
I'm using for that require js plugin for grunt.
First file is raty jquery script.
Second is my own file like this:
define('userGlosowanie', ['jquery', 'raty'], function ($) {
'use strict';
return {
init: function () {
}
}
});
And here is my grunt script:
requirejs: {
userGlosowanie: {
options: {
baseUrl: "js/libs",
paths: {
userGlosowanie: "../dev/uzytkownik-glosowanie",
raty: "raty/jquery.raty",
},
name: "userGlosowanie",
out: "js/build/uzytkownik.min.js",
preserveLicenseComments: false,
}
},
},
Problem is that I've got error:
Running "requirejs:user" (requirejs) task
>> Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory
>> 'D:\strony\www\polskieszlaki\js\libs\jquery.js'
>> In module tree:
>> user
Warning: RequireJS failed. Use --force to continue.
my jquery file is in separate file and I don't want to include it in compiled file. How to do it?

Answer 1

If you don't want to include jquery in build file just mark it as empty: in path config.
options: {
paths: {
userGlosowanie: "../dev/uzytkownik-glosowanie",
raty: "raty/jquery.raty",
jquery: "empty:"
}
}

Answer 2

You can exclude a particular module/file from getting included in the combined/optimized file using the exclude option
In your case it will look like -
requirejs: {
userGlosowanie: {
options: {
baseUrl: "js/libs",
paths: {
userGlosowanie: "../dev/uzytkownik-glosowanie",
raty: "raty/jquery.raty",
},
out: "js/build/uzytkownik.min.js",
name: "userGlosowanie",
exclude: "jquery"
preserveLicenseComments: false,
}
}
}
With modules and dir(output dir) option, you may not be able to set the output file name, but the optmized file with same name as the module will be placed in the directory set by option dir
requirejs: {
userGlosowanie: {
options: {
baseUrl: "js/libs",
paths: {
userGlosowanie: "../dev/uzytkownik-glosowanie",
raty: "raty/jquery.raty",
},
dir: "../public",
modules : [{
name: "userGlosowanie",
exclude: "jquery"
}],
preserveLicenseComments: false,
}
}
}
