How to handle embedded code with RequireJS optimization

Question

How do I handle inline code when using RequireJS Optimization ?

Along with a bunch of individual JavaScript files that are loaded via RequireJS, I have an object defined in my ASPX file.

<script> define('PageData', function(){ return { target: <%=_target%>, permissions: <%=_permissions%> }; }); </script> 

This object contains page load data and is required for many of my files.

Of course, when I try to use Optimization, he complains because he can not find either the module that is defined as PageData, or a file named PageData.js.

Is there a way to ignore this dependency?

Like @PaulGrime's comments, empty: does the trick.

Got a response from jrburke and it works for me.

Use the empty: paths configuration option in the assembly to complete the optimization:
