Support multiple config files

[eskimoblood]

I've a project where I wanna build 4 different versions of my app, one for iPhone / iPad and german/english. All should use the same boot.js:

requirejs(['app', [i18n]], function(app, i18n) {
 app.start(i18n);
});

For every version I've set the path to app and i18n to the specific iphone/ipad german/english version.

So, as requirejs' optimizer don't support multiple modules with the same name I've build a small node task that creates the config files dynamically. As we switch to requirejs-rails, we have the same problem as before.

So is there a way to have multiple config files for requirejs-rails?

The gem doesn't currently support multiple config files, but it does pre-process config/requirejs.yml with ERB. So depending on your needs, you could provide a setting (even if just an environment variable) that chooses the particular build behavior you need. That kind of usage might integrate well with a Jenkins or other CI tool, which could do several build runs with the appropriate parameters. You could probably also just setup a single rake task to produce all the variant builds.
