javascript - Can't load Bootstrap with RequireJS

Question

I can't seem to figure out how to load Bootstrap via RequireJS. None of the examples that I found worked for me.

Here is my shim:

require.config({
  // Sets the js folder as the base directory for all future relative paths
  baseUrl: "./js",
  urlArgs: "bust=" +  (new Date()).getTime(),
  waitSeconds: 200,
  // 3rd party script alias names (Easier to type "jquery" than "libss/jquery, etc")
  // probably a good idea to keep version numbers in the file names for updates checking
  paths: {

      // Core libsraries
      // --------------
      "jquery": "libs/jquery",
      "underscore": "libs/lodash",
      "backbone": "libs/backbone",
      "marionette": "libs/backbone.marionette",

      // Plugins
      // -------
      "bootstrap": "libs/plugins/bootstrap",
      "text": "libs/plugins/text",
      "responsiveSlides": "libs/plugins/responsiveslides.min",
      'googlemaps': 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDdqRFLz6trV6FkyjTuEm2k-Q2-MjZOByM&sensor=false',


      // Application Folders
      // -------------------
      "collections": "app/collections",
      "models": "app/models",
      "routers": "app/routers",
      "templates": "app/templates",
      "views": "app/views",
      "layouts": "app/layouts",
      "configs": "app/config"

  },

  // Sets the configuration for your third party scripts that are not AMD compatible
  shim: {

      "responsiveSlides": ["jquery"],
      "bootstrap": ["jquery"],
      "backbone": {

        // Depends on underscore/lodash and jQuery
        "deps": ["underscore", "jquery"],

        // Exports the global window.Backbone object
        "exports": "Backbone"

      },
      "marionette": {
        // Depends on underscore/lodash and jQuery
        "deps": ["backbone", "underscore", "jquery"],
        // Exports the global window.Backbone object
        "exports": "Marionette"
      },
      'googlemaps': { 'exports': 'GoogleMaps' },
      // Backbone.validateAll plugin that depends on Backbone
      "backbone.validate": ["backbone"]

  },
  enforceDefine: true

});

and here is how I call Bootstrap:

define([
        "jquery",
        "underscore",
        "backbone",
        "marionette",

        "collections/Navigations",
        'bootstrap',
        ],
function($, _, Backbone, Marionette, Navigations, Bootstrap){

The error that I get is this:

Uncaught Error: No define call for bootstrap

Any ideas on how to get this resolved?

Answer 1

I found a working example here:

https://github.com/sudo-cm/requirejs-bootstrap-demo

I followed it to get my code to work.

According to that demo, especially app.js, you simply make a shim to catch Bootstrap's dependency on jQuery,

requirejs.config({
    // pathsオプションの設定。"module/name": "path"を指定します。拡張子（.js）は指定しません。
    paths: {
        "jquery": "lib/jquery-1.8.3.min",
        "jquery.bootstrap": "lib/bootstrap.min"
    },
    // shimオプションの設定。モジュール間の依存関係を定義します。
    shim: {
        "jquery.bootstrap": {
            // jQueryに依存するのでpathsで設定した"module/name"を指定します。
            deps: ["jquery"]
        }
    }
});

and then mark Bootstrap as a dependency of the app itself, so that it loads before app.js.

// require(["module/name", ...], function(params){ ... });
require(["jquery", "jquery.bootstrap"], function ($) {
    $('#myModalButton').show();
});

Finally, since app.js is the data-main,

<script type="text/javascript" src="./assets/js/require.min.js" data-main="./assets/js/app.js"></script>

Bootstrap's JS is guaranteed to load before any application code.
