require-wiredep

Wire require config to many files

Getting Started

Install the module with npm:

$ npm install --save require-wiredep

Prepare require-config.js file

var config = {
  default: {
    "baseUrl": "",
    "paths": {
      "app": "scripts/app",
      "bootstrap": "scripts/bootstrap",
      "config": "scripts/config",
      "angular": "bower_components/angular/angular",
      "angularAMD": "bower_components/angularAMD/angularAMD",
      "angular-mocks": "bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks"
    },
    "packages": [
      {
        "name": "myWidget",
        "location": "bower_components/myWidget/dist/component/src",
        "main": "js/component"
      },
    ],
    "shim": {
      "angularAMD": ["angular"],
      "angular-mocks": ["angular"],
      "angular-resource": ["angular"]
    },
    "priority": ["angular", "angularAMD"],

    "deps": ["/scripts/bootstrap.js"]
  },
  extended: {
    "baseUrl": "/base/",
    "paths": {
      "Api": "scripts/services/Api",
      "ApiResource": "scripts/services/ApiResource",
      "modalView": "views/NextStepWidget/modal.html"
    }
  },
  test: {
    "url_prefix": "app/",
    "url_postfix": "test",
    "url_prefix_exclude": ["bower_components"],
    "url_postfix_exclude": ["bower_components"],
    "callback": function() {
      console.log('do something');
    }
  }
};

module.exports = config;

Above you can see example config file for require-wiredep. Config can contain many targets with configs. Main and required target is default, by using another targets we have possibility to extend default configuration.

Insert placeholders in your code where your config will be injected

There is two possibilities to inject config to you file:

• Target style by using require:target placeholder

var config = {
  //require:default
  //endrequire
  }

• Property style by using require:target:property placeholder

var config = {
  "paths":
  //require:default:paths
  //endrequire
  }

Let require-wiredep work its magic:

$ node
> require('require-wiredep')({ src: 'main.js' });

main.js modified.
