Make a build in dojo 1.7.2 - dojo

Question

Well, I read all about build and all about dojo. Three days nightmare and so on... Need some help.
I'm using the last version of dojo. 1.7.2 in:
</sites/somesite/scripts/dojo17>
which contains
--dojo
--dijit
--dojox
--utils
I use the following profile:
dependencies = {
stripConsole: "all",
action: "release",
optimize: "shrinksafe",
layerOptimize: "shrinksafe",
//optimize: "closure",
//layerOptimize: "closure",
//mini: true,
//localeList : 'en-us',
//cssOptimize: "comments",
//selectorEngine: "acme",
releaseName: "content7",
layers: [
{
// This is a specially named layer, literally 'dojo.js'
// adding dependencies to this layer will include the modules
// in addition to the standard dojo.js base APIs.
name: "dojo.js",
customBase : true,
dependencies: [
"dojo.fx",
"dijit.form.Button",
"dojox.gauges.AnalogGauge",
"dojox.gauges.AnalogArcIndicator",
"dojox.gauges.AnalogNeedleIndicator",
"myApp.smartmix"
]
}
],
prefixes: [
[ "dijit", "../dijit" ],
[ "dojox", "../dojox" ],
[ "myApp", "../../../myApp" ]
]
};
then i use this build script
./build.sh profile=../../../../myApp/myApp.profile.js releaseDir=../../../release
And I got the
</sites/somesite/scripts/release/content7>
which contains
--dijit
--dojo
--dojox
--myApp
NOW in my index.html file I have
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var djConfig = {
parseOnLoad: true,
isDebug: false,
modulePaths: {
'myApp': '../myApp'
}
};
//]]>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/release/content7/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
<script>
dojo.require('myApp.smartmix');
</script>
And YES this reduce the 230 files loaded without the build to 153 files.
BUT stills I (want to) believe that is posibble to reduce to one or 2 files.
But HOW?????
Please, some help will be appreciated!!!!

Answer 1

Ok, your profile is not right.
1st of all: You are using customBase, which is an advanced property for creating a minimal version of dojo core. I don't think you want that, do you? Normally, you just let dojo build its core normally, and that ends up as dojo.js in your output dir.
2nd of all: Every layer entry there will generate a minified .js file with all the files in dependencies inside it.
So, if you want your myApp stuff in a built JS file, you'll need to create a layer, and put your files in its dependencies.
Dojo will still generate all the individual files - but you don't have to deploy them. Just deploy the layer files. I usually have a layer for Dojo core, a layer for the dijit/dojox stuff I want, and then a layer for my custom JS. Then there are three JS files, which dojo will output in the dojo dir, and they are used in the HTML page.

...
layers: [
{
// this is a layer 'application', which will cache all
// dependencies to smartmix and declare smartmix in the same file
name: "../../../myApp/smartmix.js",
dependencies: [
"dojo.fx",
"dijit.form.Button",
"dojox.gauges.AnalogGauge",
"dojox.gauges.AnalogArcIndicator",
"dojox.gauges.AnalogNeedleIndicator",
"myApp.smartmix"
]
}
],
...
you will need only two requests;
<script src=..dojo.js></script>
and
<script>require(["myApp.smartmix"], function(smartmixApplication) { });</script>
