How can I instantiate optimised modules in requirejs outside of the optimised file?

In my require.config I create shorthands for a couple of paths that I use regularly:

require.config({
    paths: {
        text: 'components/requirejs-text/text',
        url: 'config/url',
        List: 'modules/List/main'
        ...

Then on the individual pages (in separate script files), I instantiate a module like this:

require(['List'], function(List){ new List; });

My plan was to optimise all files into one file, require that and instantiate a module as in my example, but since the paths of require.config aren't really relevant anymore (Because I now only have main.build.js) how can I instantiate my modules?

UPDATE: Let me rephrase:

I'm trying to instantiate a module outside of the optimised build script, how do I do that?

Solution

  • Wherever you want to include the List module just create a new paths configuration which points to the optimized file.

    require.config({
    paths: {
        'List': 'js/myApp' 
    }
});
require(['List'], function(List) {
    ...
});
