Question

Update:
For anyone interested in using Brunch with AngularJS I’ve put together a seed project angular-brunch-seed

I’m using Brunch with AngularJS. AngularJS provides a module system so the need for importing file using commonJS / AMD is redundant. Is it possible to disable this feature for files in the /app directory? Essentially I would like it to compile files unaltered like it does for the /vendor directory.

So the preferred out come would be:

  joinTo:
    'js/app.js': /^app/
    'js/vendor.js': /^vendor/

With both js/app.js and js/vender.js containing compile files from each respective folder, but neither wrapped.

Does anyone have any ideas?

UPDATE
The syntax has changed from when @jcruz answer. Here’s the way to do this now.

In the end I went with a modified version of @jcruz answer.

exports.config =
  modules:
    definition: false
    wrapper: (path, data) ->
      """
(function() {
  'use strict';
  #{data}
}).call(this);\n\n
      """
  files:
    javascripts:
      defaultExtension: 'coffee'
      joinTo:
        'js/app.js': /^app/
        'js/vendor.js': /^vendor/

By default the “raw” wrapper does not include coffeescript’s standard wrapper. By setting jsWrapper to:

wrapper: (path, data) ->
  """
(function() {
  'use strict';
  #{data}
}).call(this);
  """

files will be wrapped as expected.

Answer 1

The ability to disable the module wrapping was just recently added in https://github.com/brunch/brunch/commit/ec158cffd1b66d5db2093cf766000673aa0dd3a5

I dont believe the release w/ these features is on npm yet but you could just re-install brunch from the github repo

Once you do that Brunch, set jsWrapper to ‘raw’ in your config.coffee

Something like this…

exports.config =
  jsWrapper: 'raw'
  files:
    javascripts:
      defaultExtension: 'js'
      joinTo:
        'javascripts/app.js': /^app/
        'javascripts/vendor.js': /^vendor/

‘brunch b’ and the wrapping code should disappear
