composer require ischenko/yii2-jsloader-requirejs

or add

to the require section of your composer.json.

Usage

Add the behavior and requirejs loader to the view configuration

    ...
    'components' => [
        ...
        'view' => [
            'as jsLoader' => [
                'class' => 'ischenko\yii2\jsloader\Behavior',
                'loader' => [
                    'class' => 'ischenko\yii2\jsloader\RequireJs',
                ]
            ]
        ]
        ...
    ]
    ...

Modules configuration accepts options described in RequireJS API docs. It is also possible to set aliases for modules, for example:

    ...
    'components' => [
        ...
        'view' => [
            'as jsLoader' => [
                'class' => 'ischenko\yii2\jsloader\Behavior',
                'loader' => [
                    'config' => [
                        'shim' => [
                            'yii\web\JqueryAsset' => [
                                'exports' => 'jQuery'
                            ],
                            'app\assets\jQueryFireflyAsset' => [
                                'deps' => ['yii\web\JqueryAsset']
                            ]
                        ],
                        'aliases' => [
                            'yii\web\JqueryAsset' => 'jq',
                            'app\assets\jQueryFireflyAsset' => 'jqff'
                        ]
                    ],
                    'class' => 'ischenko\yii2\jsloader\RequireJs',
                ]
            ]
        ]
        ...
    ]
    ...

Or you can set alias, exports, init options from asset bundle:

class jQueryFireflyAsset extends AssetBundle
{
    public $js
        = [
            'jquery.firefly.min.js'
        ];

    public $jsOptions
        = [
            'requirejs' => [
                'alias' => 'jqff',
                //'init' => 'function(jQuery) { /* do some init here */ }'
                //'exports' => 'some-exported'
            ]
        ];

    public $depends
        = [
            'yii\web\JqueryAsset',
        ];

        
//    public function registerAssetFiles($view)
//    {
//        parent::registerAssetFiles($view);
        
//        $this->jsOptions['requirejs']['init'] =<<<EOS
//function(jQuery) {
//    Or do some complex init... 
//}
//EOS;
//    }

}

This will produce following output:

var require = {
    "shim": {
        "jq": {
            "exports": "jQuery"
        }, 
        "jqff": {
            "deps": ["jq"]
        }
    },
    "paths": {
        "jq": ["/assets/e7b76d86/jquery"],
        "jqff": ["/assets/4127fff7/jquery.firefly.min"]
    }
};

Please note that aliases works only within client-side code. On server-side you still need to operate with actual module names.
