RequireJS Support?

[lostobjectMember]

Has anyone been able to get jqwidgets loaded correctly using RequireJS? In particular I am trying to load jqxcore.js, jqxgrid.js and jqxknockout.js. I have specified the dependencies of each using a shim configuration in my require.config but it does not seem to work. For example, the jqwidget knockout binding handlers are not added to the ko object.

Hi wondering if you found a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

Hi guys,

jqxKnockout requires Knockout Framework to be already loaded because jqxKnockout plug-in extends the Knockout Framework’s custom bindings. I suppose that is the issue on your side.

Hi Peter,
Actually I am not using knockout, but backbone and marionette. In my view’s onRender method when I try to render the jqxgrid, is when I am having issue loading jqx libraries through require js.
Is there a recommended approach for loading through requirejs?

Thanks

I don’t know if RequireJS has controllable order of execution for async loaded scripts… however, I can tell you how I did it with LABjs:

“self.config.jqwidgets” contains the names of the modules which need to be loaded, as an array in proper order
“LABjs” is the loader instance

LABjs.setGlobalDefaults({
   AlwaysPreserveOrder: true
});
LABjs.queueScript("/jqwidgets/jqxcore.js");
for(c = 0; c< self.config.jqwidgets.length; c++)
	LABjs.queueScript("/jqwidgets/jqx"+self.config.jqwidgets[c]+".js");
LABjs.queueWait(function() {
   // ... do widgets initialization here
});
LABjs.runQueue();

Hope this helps and you find a similar solution for RequireJS !
