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.

    I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?

    If you’re interested feel free to send me an email. I look
    forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!

    know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.

    I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
    Thanks!
