Question

I’m having issues trying to load ckeditor via requirejs (I’ve tried converting the main ckeditor js file into individual modules but that has just caused all hell to break loose) and so I’m now checking to see if there is a very simple way to do this that I’ve missed.

I know requirejs allows you to load normal js scripts so maybe just loading the ckeditor.js file (un-edited, so it’s still an IIFE/self-executing function) – would that work with requirejs or if you’re using requirejs for loading modules, does the entire project then need to be module based?

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards,
Mark

OK, it seems I answered my own question here.

Instead of trying to break ckeditor down into modules I just used RequireJs to load the script in it’s entirety.

require(['require', 'dependancy-A', 'dependancy-B', 'dependancy-C'], function(require, A, B, C){

    // this = [object DOMWindow]
    // CKEDITOR_BASEPATH is a global variable
    this.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = '/ckeditor/';

    require(['/ckeditor/ckeditor'], function(){
        // Code to create a new editor instance
    });

});
