Module Map Plugin

Introduction

This plugin will write the lumbar module mapping code used to load modules in a meaningful way. The easiest way to use the module loader is with a backbone application however it is possible to create a custom module loader.

To output the module mapping javascript code in your project, you need to add a resource reference in the files data. This reference should be in the base module after the lumbar-loader.js reference but before an loader implementation references. See lumbar-loader for more details.

Preload and Depends

As of 2.0 the module-map plugin supports preload and depends flags defined on individual modules. When defined these will either background or blocking load, respectively.

Example

This example is from the sample todos app

"modules": {
  "base": [
    ...
    {"src": "lib/backbone.js", "global": true},
    {"src": "lib/thorax.js", "global": true},
    {"src": "lib/lumbar-loader.js"},
    {"module-map": true},
    {"src": "lib/lumbar-loader-standard.js"},
    {"src": "lib/lumbar-loader-backbone.js"},
    ...
  ],

The code produced from the module map with the sample todos app lumbar file

module.exports.moduleMap({"modules":{"todo":{"js":"todo.js"}},"routes":{"":"todo","todo":"todo"},"base":{"js":"base.js"}}, './');
