Dynamic loading of js files using RequireJS framework #44

Open mg-arrow opened 9 years ago

mg-arrow commented 9 years ago

Is it possible to modify the current modular application and include RequireJS to handle dynamic loading of the javascript files required for the specific modules ?

The current structure would not well in case of the large level size application because all the files will need to be loaded in the beginning.

This is doable with the ng-demos apps, as I had implemented an integration of ng-demos/module app with requirejs this past summer using the approach specified by Dan Wahlin in this blog post:

http://weblogs.asp.net/dwahlin/dynamically-loading-controllers-and-views-with-angularjs-and-requirejs

For me, it was needed for security purposes, to validate that the user had authority to access each module/controller other than the dashboard. One thing I did not do at the time was fix the karma runner to load tests properly using RequireJs. I'd like to hear John's feedback about this approach too, and I may be able to find my sample and post to a forked version if requested.

fwiw, there is a provider here that would help with loading angular modules on demand: https://github.com/ocombe/ocLazyLoad
