Question

I’m using the text plugin of RequireJS. Is it possible to reference a text file in the path configuration file? I’ve tried

require.config({
   paths: {
       'myTemplate': 'text!templates/myTemplate.html'
   }
});

but that didn’t work.

The reason it isn’t working is because RequireJS plugins are designed to be used as part of a require command, not in the config.

Try:

require.config({
   paths: {
       'myTemplate': 'templates/myTemplate.html'
   }
});

and in your module:

define(
    ['text!myTemplate'],

    function () {}
)
