在优化脚本中嵌入require.js

Question

RequireJS has a nice feature to optimize a JS project into one single script (let's call it foo.js ).

If I include foo.js , I get: Uncaught ReferenceError: define is not defined . The error goes away if I add require.js before foo.js , because define is defined by RequireJS. I don't want my library users to have to do that to use it.

Can I make RequireJS embed itself inside the foo.js in a proper way? Would concatenating files be acceptable?

Yep, the maintainer of RequireJS has put out a project just for that, almond .

I haven't used it, but from the description:

"Some developers like to use the AMD API to code modular JavaScript, but after doing an optimized build, they do not want to include a full AMD loader like RequireJS, since they do not need all that functionality. [...] By including almond in the built file, there is no need for RequireJS. "
