How To : Organizing javascript in a asp.net core modularized application (modules in dlls) #106
Description
My Application is organized in a way that some features are working as a plugin. Each plugin has it's own APIs, Views, Static files etc.. I am using ViewLocationExpander to find the view files owned by plugins which is not in the standard location but in the plugins relative path. Example;
[Starting MVC Application]
|__MainLayOut
|__Modules
|__Plugin1
|_Binaries
|_Views (has shared, _viewimports etc.. local to this module)
|_wwwroot (has static files local to this module)
|
|__Plugin2
|_Binaries
|_Views (has shared, _viewimports etc.. local to this module)
|_wwwroot (has static files local to this module)
As you see in above structure if you delete the a plugin from the Modules folder entire plugin related features will get deactivated. So code for that plugin is 100% within the plugin directory.
Now I am planning to use RequireJS and try to modularize javascripts that is needed by each plugin. However the doucment says:
The requirejs entrypoint for each page will be loaded from ~/Scripts/Controllers/{area}/{controller}/{action}
But in my case RequireJS should be able to load the JS file not from the primary ~/Scripts folder but the /wwwroot/js folder which is inside the Plugin folder (\Modules\Plugin1\wwwroot\js). If I can get this done (May be like ViewLocationExpander), I can have a 100% modularized app.
Is this possible?
