Requirejs : Non amd library

Question

I have a script.js included in the website of my customer. This customer uses requirejs but he append script.js at the end of the body without explicitly using requirejs to load it.

In script.js i have libraries that are amd compatible and other not. The problem is that requirejs automatically load library which are amd. And i can't access them in my own library which is not amd compatible.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks

RequireJs has the ability to "shim" configuration. In your requirejs configuration call, use the following (from the requirejs page). Backbone in this case is not a requirejs module and used as an example.

requirejs.config({
  shim: {
    'backbone': {
        //These script dependencies should be loaded before loading
        //backbone.js
        deps: ['underscore', 'jquery'],

        //Once loaded, use the global 'Backbone' as the
        //module value.
        exports: 'Backbone'
    }

})

You can then use Backbone just like any other module:

define(['backbone'], function (Backbone) {
   return Backbone.Model.extend({});
});
