How to make a requirejs module with multiple files

I was wondering how to make a requirejs module with multiple files. e.x. I require one file which then somehow gets multiple files. I know I could do this:

define([all the other files], function () {
  var mod = {},
      files = [all the other files];   
  arguments.forEach(function (i) {
    mod.[files[i]] = i;
  });
  return mod;

});

but I was wondering whether there was a better method?

Solution

  • You want a dynamic list of files(.txt,.tpl,.htm,.json), to avoid a change in JS source code to add more files.

    I don't know if is there a way to do that, but you must take care about the time that will take to download all this files. I suggest you to create a json file with all files that you want to download, and iterate through this array of files using ajax to get them.

    If you are try to get all module inside a directory, you need to create a js file: <package-all>.js that encapsulate an require([all files],function()); for example.

    I believe that this is the only way to solve this.
