copied!<p>I am trying to get to grips with Backbone and Require JS using marionette for some of its excellent features. However I am finding a few issues with the app being available to views:</p> <p>main.js</p> <pre><code>require(['application'], function(app){ app.start(); }); </code></pre> <p>application.js</p> <pre><code>define([ 'marionette', 'router' ], function(marionette, Router){ "use strict"; var app = new marionette.Application(); app.addRegions({ header : 'header', main : '#main' }); app.addInitializer(function(){ this.router = new Router(); }); return app; }); </code></pre> <p>dashboard.js</p> <pre><code>define([ 'application', 'underscore', 'backbone', ], function(app, _, Backbone) { var DashboardView = Backbone.View.extend({ initialize: function() { console.log(app); $('a').click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); app.router.navigate("claims", { trigger: true }); }); }, }); return DashboardView; }); </code></pre> <p>I am receiving undefined in the console log? Should the application be using requirejs modules instead?</p> <p>EDIT: Update with require</p> <pre><code>require.config({ paths: { 'jquery' : '../vendors/jquery-1.8.2', 'underscore' : '../vendors/underscore', 'text' : '../vendors/text', 'json2' : '../vendors/json2', 'backbone' : '../vendors/backbone', 'marionette' : '../vendors/plugins/backbone.marionette', 'paginator' : '../vendors/plugins/backbone.paginator', 'relational' : '../vendors/plugins/backbone.relational', 'moment' : '../vendors/moment', 'bootstrap' : '../vendors/bootstrap', 'datepicker' : '../vendors/plugins/bootstrap.datepicker', 'templates' : 'templates/' }, shim: { backbone: { deps: ['underscore', 'jquery'], exports: 'Backbone' }, marionette : { exports : 'Backbone.Marionette', deps : ['backbone'] }, paginator: { deps: [ 'backbone', 'underscore', 'jquery' ], exports: 'Backbone.Paginator' }, relational: ['backbone'], underscore: { 'exports': '_' }, bootstrap: { deps: ['jquery'], exports: "bootstrap" }, datepicker: { deps: ['jquery','bootstrap'], exports: "datepicker" }, moment: { exports: 'moment' } } }); require(['application'], function(app){ app.start(); }); </code></pre> <p>router</p> <pre><code>define([ 'views/claims/PaginatedList', 'views/dashboard/Dashboard' ], function(PaginatedClaimListView, DashboardView){ var Router = Backbone.Router.extend({ routes: { "": "index", "claims": "claims" }, initialize: function(){ Backbone.history.start({ pushState: true, root: '/app_dev.php/hera' }); }, index: function(){ var dashboard = new DashboardView(); }, claims: function(){ var claimListView = new PaginatedClaimListView(); } }); return Router; }); </code></pre>
