Meta question: What is hard here? To get it that even without mapping variable a module is a dependency is guaranteed to be executed before the amber package itself; or the problem is how to get to bootst
rap without a variable?
I answer the latter:
Just as if you just load it with <script>. AFAIK, bootstrap does not wrap itself in any AMD and so it does not exports anything, so even if you would try to import, you would get nil there.
Probably bootstrap exposes its JS parts through some global (then, you should can use the global directly). There is a nice AMD way to capture such global-defining modules into AMD system as well. If you want to, try add this to bootstrap.amd.json:
"shim": {
"bootstrap": {
/* maybe some other things. like deps */
"exports": "name-of-the-global-you-can-even-use-dot-notation"
}
}
this way, requirejs waits until that global appears to be defined, once it is, it takes it as a sign that the module is properly loaded, and also returns value of that thing as the export, so you could do:
imports: {'bootstrapVariable' -> 'bootstrap'}
and use bootstrapVariable (which can be 'bootstrap' of course). Otherwise, you must go th
rough the global.
