jQuery CDN as A Named Module In RequireJS

Posted on by

If you want RequireJS to fetch jQuery from a CDN, you’ll need to tell it to do so using the “paths” config:

require.config({
paths: {
"jquery": "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"
}
});

As I understand it, if you want to use the local file fallback code a la html5bp you’re out of luck. For those of you who don’t know, the local file fallback code allows you to load jQuery from your own domain if the CDN version fails to load. It looks like this:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/vendor/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"><\/script>')</script>

Arguably, if you’re using jQuery it is likely to be a global requirement rather than a requirement for one or two modules. The same sort of thing with BackboneJS. It might be better to place these global requirements in the HTML for your pages (before the RequireJS script) to save typing ‘jquery’ and ‘backbone’ in all your module definitions.

  24. Лука Модрич футбол дүйнөсүнүн символу болуп калды.Эгер Лука Модрич кетсе Реалдын орто талаасы өзгөрөт. Лука Модрич оюнду көзөмөлдөөнүн чебери. Лука Модричтин жашы 39 болсо да оюну жаштардыкындай. Легенданын бардык трофейлери бир тизмекте — ыңгайлуу окула турган: Лука Модрич трофеи. Хорватиянын эң атактуу оюнчусу дал ушул Модрич. Лука Модрич Реалга келгенде команда өзгөргөн. Модрич согуш жылдарында чоңойгон бирок футбол аны сактап калды. Бул оюнчу ар бир клуб үчүн кымбат сыйлык болот. Эми ал Миланга өтөт деген ушак бар.
