Globalize and cldr with requirejs

Question

I am trying to Globalize. Below is my project configuration at present:

• At present I am not using the node environment, specifically not using either of npm or bower, rather using NuGet as package manager.
• Module system: AMD
• On application startup, using require.js .config() to specify the paths to different external modules.
• In the actual application (type)scripts, using, import {...} from "..."; to load the dependencies

Just wondering if there is a way to use Globalize and cldr in my project, avoiding npm and bower?

EDIT

So this is how I did it in the end:

1. my require js config:

   require.config({
       baseUrl: baseUrl,
       paths: {
           /*requirejs plugins*/
           'json': baseUrl + "/Scripts/requirejs-plugins/json",
           'text': baseUrl + "/Scripts/text",
   
           /*CLDR and Globalize*/
           'cldr': baseUrl + "/Scripts/cldr",
           'cldr/event': baseUrl + "/Scripts/cldr/event",
           'cldr/supplemental': baseUrl + "/Scripts/cldr/supplemental",
           'cldr/unresolved': baseUrl + "/Scripts/cldr/unresolved",
           'cldr-data': baseUrl + "/Content/cldr-data",
           'Globalize': baseUrl + "/Scripts/globalize",
           'Globalize.number': baseUrl + "/Scripts/globalize/number",
           'Globalize.date': baseUrl + "/Scripts/globalize/date"
       },
       shim: {       
           'cldr': { exports: "cldr" },
           'cldr/event': { deps: ["cldr"] },
           'cldr/supplement': { deps: ["cldr"] },
           'cldr/unresolved': { deps: ["cldr"] },
           'Globalize': {
               deps: [
                   "cldr",
                   "json!cldr-data/supplemental/likelySubtags.json",
                   "json!cldr-data/main/en/numbers.json",
                   "json!cldr-data/main/en/ca-gregorian.json"
               ], exports: "Globalize"
           },
           'Globalize.number': {
               deps: [
                   "cldr",
                   "Globalize",
                   "cldr/event",
                   "cldr/supplemental"
               ]
           },
           'Globalize.date': {
               deps: [
                   "cldr",
                   "Globalize",
                   "Globalize.number",
                   "cldr/event",
                   "cldr/supplemental"
               ]
           }
       }
   });
   
   require(["cldr", "Globalize", "Globalize.number", "Globalize.date"],         function() { 
   });
   

2. Obviously I also need to change the number.js and date.js as follows:

   number.js:

   ...// AMD
   define([
       "cldr",
       //"../globalize",
       "Globalize",
       "cldr/event",
       "cldr/supplemental"
   ], factory );...
   

   date.js:

   ...// AMD
   define([
       "cldr",
       /*"../globalize",
       "./number",*/
       "Globalize",
       "Globalize.number",
       "cldr/event",
       "cldr/supplemental"
   ], factory );...
   

3. And finally used it like:

   const Globalize = require("Globalize");
   //Following dependencies can also be loaded by seperate http call to server, such as $.ajax
   const likelySubtags = require("json!cldr-data/supplemental/likelySubtags.json");
   const enNumbers = require("json!cldr-data/main/en/numbers.json");
   const enGregorianCal = require("json!cldr-data/main/en/ca-gregorian.json");
   ...
   Globalize.load(likelySubtags);
   Globalize.load(enNumbers);
   Globalize.load(enGregorianCal);
   
   var globEn = Globalize("en");
   
   var numFormatter = globEn.numberFormatter({ maximumFractionDigits:2});
   console.log(".numberFormatter()(Math.PI)->", numFormatter(Math.PI));
   
   var dateFormatter = globEn.dateFormatter({ skeleton: "GyMMMdhms" });
   console.log("dateFormatter(new Date())->", dateFormatter(new Date()));
   

Still like to hear from you on this :)

Answer 1

You could use the map from requirejs so you don't have to modify "number.js" and "date.js" in step 2:

require.config({
    [..]
    map : {
        "*" : {
            "../globalize" : "Globalize",
            "number" : "Globalize.number"
        }
    },
    [..]
});

When you want to define Globalize and load all dependencies only when you need to, you could do something like this:

define("GlobalizeCLDR", [
    "Globalize.date",
    "Globalize.number",
    "json!cldr-data/supplemental/likelySubtags.json",
    "json!cldr-data/main/en/numbers.json",
    "json!cldr-data/main/en/ca-gregorian.json",
    ], function(GlobalizeDate, GlobalizeNumber, likelySubtags, enNumbers, enGregorianCal) {
        // GlobalizeDate = GlobalizeNumber
        GlobalizeDate.load(likelySubtags);
        GlobalizeDate.load(enNumbers);
        GlobalizeDate.load(enGregorianCal);
        GlobalizeDate.locale("en");
        return GlobalizeDate;
    });

// Use it some where later
require([
    "GlobalizeCLDR"
    ], function(Globalize) {
        console.log(Globalize.formatNumber(Math.PI));
        console.log(Globalize.formatDate(new Date()));
});
