requiring a file with . in the filename

[alane]

This is actually being used with Siesta's requireOK method, but since it's based on Ext.require(), I thought I'd ask here too. I saw the docuementation on how to load dependencies in your informative article (http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/...c_dependencies), but I have a question I didn't see an answer to there.

How would I require a file that had . in the filename? For example, if I have a local extension MyApp/extensions/Ext.form.field.Text.js, and I try to require:

Ext.require([     'MyApp.extensions.Ext.form.field.Text' ]);

The file will look for a Text.js file in the path
MyApp/extensions/Ext/form/field/Text.js.

instead of

MyApp/extensions/Ext.form.field.Text.js

How do I tell it to ignore . in file names?

I don't know if that's really possible, checkout Loader.js getPath method:

getPath: function(className) {
            var path = '',
                paths = Loader.config.paths,
                prefix = Loader.getPrefix(className);

            if (prefix.length > 0) {
                if (prefix === className) {
                    return paths[prefix];
                }

                path = paths[prefix];
                className = className.substring(prefix.length + 1);
            }

            if (path.length > 0) {
                path += '/';
            }

            return path.replace(slashDotSlashRe, '/') + className.replace(dotRe, "/") + '.js';
        },

where dotRe = /\./g

So as a small example I tried this:

"Ext.a.b.c.d".replace(/\./g, "/") + '.js';

And returned

"Ext/a/b/c/d.js"

You could try to override this method so the return does not replace the className...

Good luck
