Examples for dojo/text or dojo/nls

[slimeygecko]

I seem to be having trouble with dojo-webpack-loader when using dojo/text. I've looked through the example js files and can't find one that directly uses dojo/text or dojo/nls..

It appears as if webpack uses exclamation marks for loaders, as you alluded to in the readme. I've been able to sort of get around this if I use an alias, but I was hopeful that the dojo-webpack-loader would be able to get around these issues with webpack.

Thoughts?

We also had some problems with dojo/text (I don't remember what problems exactly) and to fix them we installed the text-loader package and wrote an alias for dojo/text. The webpack config section with the alias looks like this:

    resolveLoader: {
        modulesDirectories: [
            path.resolve(__dirname, './node_modules/'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, './bower_components/'),
        ],

        alias: {
            'dojo/text': 'text',
        },
    },

After this every module that tries to use dojo/text! actually will use the text-loader. And it works fine.

That seems to work, thanks! Also, I guess text-loader is the same as or does the same as raw-loader. Now I just have to figure out how to load multiple resources at once for the application I've been working on here at work..

We have a module that uses the dojo loader lifecycle to load multiple resources at once.. see below:
require(['nlsModule!resource1,resource2,resource3'], function(resources) { \\do stuff });

and the module definition:

define(['dojo/_base/array', 'dojo/_base/lang', 'wtl/classes/locale'], function (array, lang, locale) {
    return {
        load: function (id, require, load) {
            var names = id.split(','),
                results = {},
                cnt = 0;
            array.forEach(names, function (name) {;
                require(['dojo/text!/api/resource/' + locale.getLocale() + '/' + name], function (text) {
                    lang.mixin(results, JSON.parse(text));
                    if (++cnt === names.length) {//we're all done!
                        load(results);
                    }
                });
            });
        }
    };
})

I've been working on a solution using commonjs (synchronous) but need to work out all the details still...

What if I define module like this:
define(['browser/extensions/ewniosek/DataSurfaces',
'browser/utils/Resources',
'dijit/Tooltip',
'dojo/query',
'dojo/html',
'dojo/on',
'dojo/dom-construct',
'dojo/text!./templates/databar.html'
], function (DataSurfaces, Resources, Tooltip, query, html, on, domConstruct, content) {

Can I use the same solution.
I configured alias like this
resolve: {
alias: {
"dojo": path.resolve(__dirname, './dojo/dojo'),
"dstore": path.resolve(__dirname, './dojo/dstore'),
"dijit": path.resolve(__dirname, './dojo/dijit'),
"dgrid": path.resolve(__dirname, './dojo/dgrid'),
"cbtree": path.resolve(__dirname, './dojo/cbtree'),
"dojox": path.resolve(__dirname, './dojo/dojox'),
"browser": path.resolve(__dirname, './dojo/browser'),
'dojo/text': 'text',

    }
},

and still have the same issue.

should I more 'dojo/text!./templates/databar.html'
Inside and use require(['dojo/text!./templates/databar.html',function()])

[slimeygecko]

yea, I noticed that too. Dojo/text does more than just load raw strings. It also looks like it parses xml and potentially other formats. When you alias to raw-loader, dojo/text doesn't parse the data. I'll have to look at that tomorrow when I have a little time, maybe I can help sort this out.

Webpack uses the '!' symbol in require statements as a way to use loaders in-line. I had to use the normalModuleReplacementPlugin in my webpack config to get around some of the oddities of dojo.

I've put up my working demo here dojo-webpack-loader-additional-examples. I also put together resx-webpack-loader that transforms resx files into javascript objects.
