DataTables trying to access datatables.net.js with RequireJS

Solved javascript jquery requirejs datatables datatables-1.10

I'm trying to configure DataTables to work with RequireJS and my configuration always results in this error:

require.js:1926 GET https://preview.c9users.io/{username}/{workspace}/lib/datatables.net.js
Uncaught Error: Script error for: datatables.net

My lib/DataTables/* (incl. all modules) and lib/requirejs.js both need to be stored locally in the folder lib, so I don't understand why it is trying to access the file datatables.net.js, as no such string is mentioned in any of the config files.

JSFiddle (edited for the purpose of JSFiddle): http://jsfiddle.net/42ucpwee/1/

Is my configuration wrong or what may be the cause of the error?

script.js:

define(['jquery','datatables'], function($) {
    $('#example').DataTable();
});

main.js:

requirejs.config({
    //appDir: "../",
    baseUrl: "lib",
    paths: {
        'jquery': '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min',

        'script': {
            deps: ['jquery','datatables']

});
requirejs(['script']);

It seems to have moved me a bit forward, now I'm having datatables.js:93165 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'defaults' of undefined.

Some modules worked the way you described some didn't, maybe it's also about the order in which they are imported. Here is the full order as described on their website:

Changed 'datatables' to 'datatables.net', to satisfy the naming requirements in DataTables own scripts: define( ['jquery', 'datatables.net'], function ( $ ) { .... I'm trying to put together a config file for RequireJS and my newest version looks like this:

requirejs.config({
    paths: {
        'jquery': '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min',
        'jquery-ui': '//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui',
        'bootstrap': '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min',

        //DataTables core
        'datatables' : 'DataTables/datatables.min',
        'datatables.net' : 'DataTables/DataTables-1.10.10/js/jquery.dataTables.min',
        'datatables.net-bs' : 'DataTables/DataTables-1.10.10/js/dataTables.bootstrap.min',

        //Dependencies
        'datatables.net-autofill' : 'DataTables/AutoFill-2.1.0/js/dataTables.autoFill.min',
        'datatables.net-editor' : "DataTables/Editor-1.5.2/js/dataTables.editor.min",
        'datatables-editor-bootstrap' : "DataTables/Editor-1.5.2/js/editor.bootstrap.min",
        'datatables.net-buttons' : 'DataTables/Buttons-1.1.0/js/dataTables.buttons.min',
        //'datatables.net-buttons' : 'DataTables/Buttons-1.1.0/js/buttons.bootstrap.min',

        //Extra modules
        'datatables.net-buttons-bs' : 'DataTables/Buttons-1.1.0/js/buttons.bootstrap.min',
        'datatables.net-colreorder' : "DataTables/ColReorder-1.3.0/js/dataTables.colReorder.min",
        'datatables.net-rowreorder' : "DataTables/RowReorder-1.1.0/js/dataTables.rowReorder.min",
        'datatables.net-scroller' : "DataTables/Scroller-1.4.0/js/dataTables.scroller.min",
        'datatables.net-select' : "DataTables/Select-1.1.0/js/dataTables.select.min",

        //some modules are still missing from the full package...
    },
    shim: {
        'jquery' : {
            exports : 'jquery'
        },
        'bootstrap' : {
            deps : [ 'jquery' ],
            exports : 'Bootstrap'
        },
        'datatables' : {
            deps: ['jquery','bootstrap']  
        },
        'script': {
            deps: ['datatables','datatables.net-colreorder','datatables.net-rowreorder','datatables.net-scroller','datatables.net-select']
        }
    }
});

There is no datatables.min.js in DataTables 1.10.10. So the following line in paths does not seem right: 'datatables' : 'DataTables/datatables.min',. Also, it is not correct to have shim for modules that call define. jQuery calls define. So no shim for it. – Interlocution 22/8, 2016 at 19:27

Thank you so much Peter. This was the final solution to so many hours of struggling for me – Misshapen 14/12, 2019 at 12:29

I solved the problem, like this:

    require.config({

    baseUrl: "/MyFrontEnd/resource",

    paths: {
        "jquery": "js/jquery-2.1.4.min",
        "datatables.net": "DataTables-1.10.10/media/js/jquery.dataTables.min",
        "datatables" : "DataTables-1.10.10/media/js/dataTables.bootstrap.min"
        "datatables_select": "DataTables-1.10.10/extensions/Select/js/dataTables.select.min"
    }
});

And the HTML page:

<script src="../resource`enter code here`/js/require.js"></script>
<script>
require(['/MyFrontEnd/resource/myjs/main.js'], function (main) {
    require(['jquery', 'datatables', 'datatables_select'], function ($, datatables, datatables_select) {
        $(document).ready(function () {
            var table = $('#demo_select').DataTable();
            $('#demo_select').on('click', 'tbody tr', function () {
                if (table.row(this, {selected: true}).any()) {
                    table.row(this).deselect();
                }
                else {
                    table.row(this).select();
                }

                console.log(table.row(this).data());
            });

        });
    });
});

Interesting how you made it work, it also worked for me. I was expecting the solution to be like to set the path to the root datatables.min.js in the root DataTables folder. There are RequireJS dependencies in that file

'datatables', 'datatables.net', 'datatables.net-bs', 'datatables.net-autofill', 'datatables.net-editor', 'datatables-editor-bootstrap', 'datatables.net-buttons'

. But the main thing is that it works! – Robey 17/11, 2015 at 12:18

        'bootstrap': '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min',

        //DataTables core
        'datatables' : 'DataTables/datatables.min',
        'datatables.net' : 'DataTables/DataTables-1.10.10/js/jquery.dataTables.min',
        'datatables.net-bs' : 'DataTables/DataTables-1.10.10/js/dataTables.bootstrap.min',

        //Dependencies

    },
    shim: {
        'jquery' : {
            exports : 'jquery'
        },
        'bootstrap' : {
            deps : [ 'jquery' ],
            exports : 'Bootstrap'
        },
        'datatables' : {
            deps: ['jquery','bootstrap']  
        },
        'script': {

Thank you so much Peter. This was the final solution to so many hours of struggling for me – Misshapen 14/12, 2019 at 12:29

It worked for me to register the ".net" module names as aliases under the shim config map property:

require.config({
    paths: {
      jquery: '../libs/jquery-2.2.4',
      dataTables: '../libs/dataTables/jquery.dataTables-1.10.12',
      dataTables_buttons: '../libs/dataTables/dataTables.buttons-1.2.2'
    },
    shim: {
      dataTables: {
        deps: ['jquery']
      },
      dataTables_buttons: {
        deps: ['dataTables']
      }
    },
    map: {
      '*': {
        'datatables.net': 'dataTables',
        'datatables.net-buttons': 'dataTables_buttons'
      }
    }
});

This worked for me, too. The layout and syntax feels right. By that, I mean using the map property seemed the appropriate way to proceed. – Forland 12/7, 2021 at 17:59
