Cannot Read Property 'view' Of Undefined

This is my first time to use require.js with backbone, and I'm struggling to find the problem with my view: Cannot read property 'View' of undefined // search.js:8 My directory st

Solution 1:

Backbone and Underscore are not AMD-compliant. By default, they don't provide an interface compatible with RequireJS.

In last versions, RequireJS provide a useful way to solve the problem:

Your main.js:

require.config({
  shim: {
    underscore: {
      exports: '_'
    },
    backbone: {
      deps: ['underscore', 'jquery'],
      exports: 'Backbone'
    }
  },
  paths: {
    jquery: 'lib/jquery-min',
    underscore: 'lib/underscore-min',
    backbone: 'lib/backbone-min',
    templates: '../templates'
  }

});

require([
  'app'
], function(App){
  App.initialize();
});

Solution 2:

To extend BAK's answer, you'll need to provide a baseUrl too:

require.config({
  baseUrl: 'js',
...
});
