How to properly configure Marionette EventAggregator as a Require.js module

Question

I am trying to configure vent / EventAggregator as a separate Require.js module. I am using Marionette 1.0.2 (which I believe is different from previous versions to 1.0.0) with wreqr enabled: this code is from backbone.marionette.js: -

// Event Aggregator // ---------------- // A pub-sub object that can be used to decouple various parts // of an application through event-driven architecture. Wreqr.EventAggregator = (function(Backbone, _){ "use strict"; var EA = function(){}; // Copy the `extend` function used by Backbone classes EA.extend = Backbone.Model.extend; // Copy the basic Backbone.Events on to the event aggregator _.extend(EA.prototype, Backbone.Events); return EA; })(Backbone, _); 

When I configure the vent.js module, what should it be? Something like that: -

 define(['marionette'],function(Marionette){ return new Marionette.EventAggregator(); }) 

Also in my config requirement should I explicitly include backbone.wreqr.js or not? Or should only the puppet file be enough (see snippet above)?

For reference: my app.js: -

 require.config({ paths : { backbone : 'lib/backbone', underscore : 'lib/underscore', jquery : 'lib/jquery', marionette : 'lib/backbone.marionette', 'backbone.wreqr' : 'lib/backbone.wreqr', text : 'lib/text', templates : '../templates' }, shim : { jquery : { exports : 'jQuery' }, underscore : { exports : '_' }, backbone : { deps : ['jquery', 'underscore'], exports : 'Backbone' }, marionette : { deps : ['jquery', 'underscore', 'backbone'], exports : 'Marionette' }, 'backbone.wreqr' : { deps : ['backbone', 'marionette', 'underscore'], exports : 'Wreqr' } } }) require( ["jquery", "underscore", "backbone", "marionette", "backbone.wreqr", "shell/shellapp" ], function($, _, Backbone, Marionette, Wreqr, ShellApp) { $(function() { //new ShellApp(); var shell = ShellApp; shell.start(); trace("shell: "+shell); }); } ); 

All help is much appreciated!

Thank you very much,

Sam

_______ **** UPDATE

Thanks to Paul, I figured out how to make vent.js. work FYI I did NOT need to import the wreqr file separately in the config. Here is the vent.js code: -

 define(['backbone', 'marionette'],function(Backbone, Marionette){ return new Backbone.Wreqr.EventAggregator(); });

This works for me .

 require.config({ paths: { backbone: 'http://backbonejs.org/backbone', underscore: 'http://underscorejs.org/underscore', jquery: 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1', marionette: 'http://marionettejs.com/downloads/backbone.marionette' }, shim: { jquery: { exports: 'jQuery' }, underscore: { exports: '_' }, backbone: { deps: ['jquery', 'underscore'], exports: 'Backbone' }, marionette: { deps: ['jquery', 'underscore', 'backbone'], exports: 'Marionette' } } }); require(["backbone", "marionette"], function (Backbone, Marionette) { console.log(Backbone.Wreqr.EventAggregator); var ea = new Backbone.Wreqr.EventAggregator(); console.log(ea); });
