Require.js ignoring baseUrl

OK this is driving me crazy so maybe someone can point me in the right direction...

I\'m using the latest require.js combined with jquery as my module loader. I am using

Answer 1

Your config is being executed in async mode. When first require call is founded, your config is not yet applied. According to documentation:

when require.js loads it will inject another script tag (with async attribute) for scripts/main.js

So, just execute your config in sync mode:

<script src="/js/vendor/require-jquery.js"></script>
<script src="/js/main.js"></script>
<script>
require(['jquery', 'bootstrap'], function($) {
  $(function() {
    console.log('hello world!');
  });
});
</script>

Answer 2

the trouble is that require.js load script asynchronously (that's the point behind requirejs), so when you add the require() into a script tag right after you load require, this script execute before js/main.js get loaded.

The easy way would be to include all this in main.js, or create a new file to hold this piece and load it from js/main

/js/main.js

require.config({
    baseUrl: '/js/vendor/'
});

require(['jquery', 'bootstrap'], function($) {
    $(function() {
        console.log('hello world!');
    });
});

-- OR --

/js/main.js

require.config({
    baseUrl: '/js/vendor/',
    deps: ['../boostrap']
});

/js/boostrap.js

define(['jquery', 'bootstrap'], function($) {
    $(function() {
        console.log('hello world!');
    });
});

note require() became a define() in the bootstrap file
