Tell RequireJS to not minify a file

Question

How can I use grunt-contrib-requirejs config OR even r.js Config to not minify specific files.

I can disable minification for all files with optimize: 'none' option. But I don't know how to disable it for a single file.

  options: {                                        
      // Do not minify these files: 
      // 'jquery'
      optimize: 'none', // disables minification for all files
    }

I still want the file to be included in the final merged file (unlike empty: http://requirejs.org/docs/optimization.html#empty ), just not passed into uglify.js

As `optimize: "none"` is the answer, could someone post it as an answer so @basarat can accept it? — AliBZ, Sep 24 '15 at 14:25

In the absence of a configuration option to disable minification, I have the file excluded from the merged file generated by requirejs and then manually concatenated.

Did you mean that, the optimization tool by require js can not turn the minification off? – hguser Jun 16 '15 at 01:10

It can (`optimize: 'none'`), but apparently it's an all-or-nothing thing. – Stijn de Witt Jul 31 '15 at 18:56
Yes. So I manually concatenated that file *outside* the workflow of minification – basarat Sep 25 '15 at 00:28
