I'm trying to load textext.js jquery plugin, with one of it's plugins, textext tags. On my project, I'm using require.js in order to load all scripts with it's dependencies.
As used for other scripts, I'm using a shim config on my main.js
file:
main.js
require.config({
shin: {
jquery: {
exports: '$'
},
'textext': {
deps: ['jquery'],
exports: '$.fn.textext'
},
'textext_tags': {
deps: ['jquery', 'textext'],
}
},
paths: {
jquery: 'lib/jquery-min',
textext: 'lib/textext/textext.core',
textext_tags: 'lib/textext/textext.plugin.tags',
}
});
On the page that I use it, I call it as above:
file-app.js
define([
'jquery',
'textext',
'textext_tags',
], function($, Textext, TextextTags) {
// do stuff
});
The code is loading and working correctly on firefox, but on Chromium, sometimes (about 2/3 of the times), at the first time that I load the page, I've receive the following error, that broke the functioning of the page:
TypeError: Cannot set property 'TextExtTags' of undefined
#3 localhost/js/lib/textext/textext.plugin.tags.js:23:27
Inside the file textext.plugins.tags.js
, we have at line 23 (the failure line):
$.fn.textext.TextExtTags = TextExtTags;
So, inspecting it with Firebug, I realize that Jquery is not loaded, so $
and $.fn
is undefined.
My question is: why this schema of require.js is working with other jQuery plugins on the same project (like jquery cookie and others), but not with this, a jquery plugin with it's subplugins?
As Vishwanath said, only changing from "shin" to "shim" worked, like above:
require.config({
shim: {
jquery: {
exports: '$'
},
...
Thanks!
