I'm currently using requirejs for loading majority modules, but i need to load single script knockout.js with old-fashioned manner using:

<script src='/path/to/knockout.js' ></script>

I have a trouble with it, when page is rendered i see this markup:

<script async="async" type="text/javascript" src="knockout.min.js"></script>

But i don't want to load knockout using require.js.

How to disable loading using require.js for specified script?

I FOUND A SOLUTION:

After digging up a sources of knockout, i found interesting pice of code, which determine existance of require.js and automatically registers module in require, Here is a guilty chunk of code:

    // Support three module loading scenarios
if (typeof require === 'function' && typeof exports === 'object' && typeof module === 'object') {
    // [1] CommonJS/Node.js
    var target = module['exports'] || exports; // module.exports is for Node.js
    factory(target);
} else if (typeof define === 'function' && define['amd']) {
    // [2] AMD anonymous module
    define(['exports'], factory);
} else {
    // [3] No module loader (plain <script> tag) - put directly in global namespace
    factory(window['ko'] = {});
}

You can change as you want (for example you can replace function with something else) to achieve executing last else branch of code, and as result ko will be registered in global window space.

  • I cannot to do that, i'm developing addon to external web application which not allow to change his code. My js scripts declarations followed by scripts declaration of system which i extend. I cannot change that order. Is exists another solution? – testCoder Jul 31 '13 at 13:12

    tell us more about how the scripts that actually use knockout are loaded. If your goal is to be sure that the `ko` object is in the global namespace, there are ways to do that within requirejs: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17575048/using-scriptsharp-with-knockout-mapping-through-requirejs/17582058#17582058 – explunit Jul 31 '13 at 14:02
  • regarding your "I found a solution" edit: now you have to manually merge your customizations to knockout as they come out with new versions. See the link I posted in the comment above for a better way to to tackle the global namespace issue. – explunit Aug 01 '13 at 13:38
