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.

  7. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let
    you know. The style and design look great though!
    Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Thanks

  26. Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my
    blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks

  33. Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?

    I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
    Thanks

  34. My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find a lot
    of your post’s to be precisely what I’m looking for. Does
    one offer guest writers to write content for yourself?

    I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on many of the
    subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome blog!

  39. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic
    to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for
    your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    I love the info you provide here and can’t wait
    to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised
    at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI,
    just 3G .. Anyhow, excellent site!

  41. Can I just say what a comfort to discover somebody who really knows what they are talking about on the web.
    You definitely understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    More and more people should check this out and understand
    this side of the story. It’s surprising you aren’t more popular since you certainly have the gift.
