node.jsrequirejsrequirejs-defineamdefine

The "amdefine" can not load a custom module


I installed the requirejs package to optimize the work with paths to files. In general, I do the next steps:

I have an object with paths to file, that have next values:

"app/database": "/home/dmitry/projects/information-platform-api/app/utils/database"

After I initialize the requirejs mapping in app.js (main file):

requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: __dirname,
    nodeRequire: require,
    paths: paths,
    map: {
        '*': paths
    }
});

After, I need to initialize base models, and with help for I called all files from paths object. This looks like:

for (let file in paths) {
    requirejs(paths[file]);
}

When I initializing the file, which has the dependency of the above "app/database", I have a message error: Error: Cannot find module 'app/database'.

Maybe, I don't understand "How works the amdefine", but I have opinion, what a requirejs and amdefine don`t link. Do you have any ideas, why it doesn't work?

A part of the file, which need to investigate:

if (typeof define !== 'function') {
    var define = require('amdefine')(module);
}

define([
    'sequelize',
    'app/database',
    'model/student'
], (
    Sequelize,
    sequelize,
    Student
) => { });

Result of my investigation:

The amdefine doesn't know about requirejs mapping.

Solution

  • The solution is here guys. The amdefine have two params, first param it's a global variable module, and the second it's require function for calling the local files. By default, it was just require not requirejs which contains custom mapping.

    if (typeof define !== 'function') {
        var define = require('amdefine')(module, require('requirejs'));
    }
