Load script without ".js" file extension

[rizkysyazuli]

hi,

is there a way to disable RequireJS atomatically appending ".js" file extensions? coz i'm using a php minifier script to combine and compress my css and js assets, and the URL to call these compressed script doesn't always require a ".js" file extension. is there a way integrate this kind of workflow with RequireJS?

an example URL to call the combined script is like this:

http://example.com/min/g=scripts

here i'm loading an array named "scripts" (defined via config) which contains a list of js or css files. another example is to define it inline, like this:

http://example.com/min/f=scripts/jquery.js,scripts/site.js,scripts/home.js

as you see. i'm having trouble combining this with RequireJS (or even any script loader out there). i'm using Minify for compression: http://code.google.com/p/minify/

any help would be appreciated..

thx

You could use the priority config option to specify the link to the combined script URL, if you manually create that combined URL before you deploy.

That is the first thing that comes to mind. If you can describe how you might have your require() calls set up in the app, and how those relate to the URLs you want to fetch from your service, that might help trigger more ideas.

another simple way is to use a dummy parameter at the end of your url, like :
http://example.com/min/g=scripts&dummy=
when requirejs will append the .js, it will probably do
http://example.com/min/g=scripts&dummy=.js

But as you probably don't mind about having an extra dummy parameter, it shouldn't get you in any trouble :)
