Auto Copy a .js file to APP

Drew — Mon, 25 May 2015 17:51:11 GMT

Hello,

I have about 5 widgets that all used a helper.js file I created.

Is there any way I can ensure this file is copied over when an app is created?

I stored the helper.js file in the widgets root directory.

Any ideas?

Well i found one way but I would prefer a different way....

In the "stemapp" there is a "libs" folder. I made my own folder (myHelpers) in here and pasted the .js files i needed to be included.

I can reference these libs using AMD now..

"myHelpers/helpers",

"myHelpers/lightWindow"

etc......

- I would prefer it not be be in the stemapp but this way works for now.

I also had to modify the init.js file to include a reference to the package.

Around like 132 there is a dojoConfig.packages[]

Its something like so....

{

name: "myHelpers",

location: window.path + "myHelpers"

}
