2.13.8. Load groups

Now you can focus on the logical definition of modules, for example, a self-executing function and an XML descriptor. When those modules are loaded by the browser, GateIn serves them as web resources. By default, a module will be served as a single resource, however this can be an issue in the production system and the load group feature allows decoupling the logical module and the JavaScript resource serving:

The load-group XML tag can be used to group modules together in the same web resources. When a module of a load-group is requested, the web resource containing the modules of the load group is loaded, for instance, if you have the foo and bar modules grouped by foobar:


<module>
  <name>foo</name>
  <load-group>foobar</load-group>
  ...
</module>
<module>
  <name>bar</name>
  <load-group>foobar</load-group>
  ...
</module>

When the foo is loaded, the AMD loader will load the foobar group instead of only foo. Consequently, the bar module is also available now. If there is any request for bar module, no more request is made as it is already loaded.

Note

Do not use the group name that follows by dash and 2 character, for example: forbar-as. This may cause unexpected parsing group name on the server (on GateIn 3.5.0.Final).
