requireJS can't find crossfilter2

[gordonwoodhull]

I'm going to file this issue preemptively, because we are changing the way dc.js loads crossfilter and it is going to break requireJS and other AMD package loaders.

https://github.com/crossfilter/crossfilter, the community fork of crossfilter, has a different filename (crossfilter.js) from its module name (crossfilter2). But requireJS (and presumably other AMD loaders) assumes that the module name will be the same as the filename.

From dc.js 2.0.3 and 2.1.5 onward, index.js and the UMD footer of dc.js will refer to the module name crossfilter2 instead of crossfilter.

requireJS users will need to rename crossfilter.js to crossfilter2.js when copying it into position, or use the requireJS paths, or map configuration options to specify that the filename is different from the module name.

For further discussion, please see crossfilter/crossfilter#75

With Webpack, the workaround for older versions was:

    resolve: {
        alias: {
            crossfilter: 'crossfilter2'
        }
    },

Thanks for fixing though, I can finally remove that.

Yes, the problem was that some webpack based projects e.g. angular-cli did not permit changing the config at all. Whereas requireJS is always open for configuration afaik.
