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.

  3. Hey would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re using?
    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must
    say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.

    Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a fair price?
    Thanks, I appreciate it!

  4. At this time it appears like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using
    on your blog?

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem
    to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is
    a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but
    I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though!
    Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks
