I'm using backbone boilerplate (grunt-bbb) and requireJS for a project and I have a question regarding backbone.localstorage and lodash. It seems like the localstorage plugin requires underscore. I've made an alias to backbone.localstorage in my apps config.js file:
paths: {
"backbone-localstorage" : "./plugins/backbone.localStorage"
},
After I load backbone.localstorage into one of my modules, I get a 404 error on underscore.js. I am assuming that this is because bbb uses lodash. So, I replaced lodash with the lodash.underscore.js file in the require.config.js file and everything worked:
var jam = {
"packages": [
// more packages here...
{
"name": "underscore",
"location": "../vendor/jam/lodash",
"main": "./lodash.underscore.min.js"
}
],
"version": "0.2.11",
"shim": {
"backbone": {
"deps": [
"jquery",
"underscore"
],
"exports": "Backbone"
},
"backbone.layoutmanager": {
"deps": [
"jquery",
"backbone",
"underscore"
],
"exports": "Backbone.LayoutManager"
}
}
};
My question is, was this the right way to do this? Should I have done this in my config.js file and then loaded underscore as a module?
