Using Dojo with Tapestry 5.4 - dojo

Question

I am planning to use Dojo toolkit with Tapestry 5.4. I started off with the tapestry quickstart project and tried to include dojo. However, I have been facing a lot of issues w.r.t the new require mechanisms.
- Unknown Type error - require is not a function
- Unable to load the dojo module
webapp Directory structure
webapp
+------- mybootstrap
+----------- js (part of tapestry quick start project)
+------- js (js folder I added for Dojo)
+----------- dojo (All dojo files here)
Using it with Tapestry 5.3 was pretty simple - including the dojo.js file in the layout component. The same thing does not work in 5.4
I have tried using requirejs data-main attribute, but still stuck with it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Put all your dojo files in webapp\js folder.
your folder structure should be like
// Folder structure
-webapp
-js
-dojo
-digit
-dojox
Note: Make sure you provide the access to js/* path. So that url : http://localhost:8080/app/js/dojo/dojo.js accessible.
Put a script tag inside your tapestry page (*.tml) and add dojo modules using requireJS using below script,
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout(
function() {
var dojoConfig = {
async : true
};
require.config({
packages :
[ {
name : 'dojo',
location : '../js/dojo'
} ],
});
require(
[ 'dojo', 'dojo/dom' ],
function(dojo, dom) {
console.log(dojo);
dom.byId("myDiv").innerHTML = "updatedHTML content";
});
}, 1000);
</script>
thats it.
