using r.js optimization to optimize modules

Question

using r.js optimization to optimize modules

If I use Modules options, I see the whole files are copied and I am not sure how to use a single optimized file. I can build a file with references to JS files and use that file to generate a single file. But using Modules option, I see only the source files are copied directly and I see no optimization....any idea on how to use modules option and optimize it?

Here is the snippet...

({
    baseUrl: ".",
    dir: "app/main-built-125",
    modules: [{
            name: "scripts/Address/AddressList"
        }, {
            name: "scripts/Office/OfficeDetails"
        }],
    paths: {
        jquery: 'empty'
    },
    fileExclusionRegExp: /^\./,
})

node.js
requirejs
r.js

You'll need to use the include option to specify which dependencies to include with the module.

Note that by default dependencies of the defined modules (the one set as name) should be fetched and included in the builded file (Of course, as long as they're defined in the define() deps array).
