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.

  1. In today’s fast-evolving financial landscape, it’s rare to find
    a platform that seamlessly bridges both crypto and fiat operations,
    especially for large-scale operations. However, I came across this discussion that dives deep into a website which supports everything
    from buying Bitcoin to managing fiat payments, and it’s especially recommended for corporate accounts.

    I found the forum topic to be incredibly insightful because it covers not
    just the basics of buying crypto, but also the extended features like multi-currency
    fiat support, bulk payment processing, and advanced tools for businesses.

    Whether you’re running a startup or managing finances for a multinational corporation, the features highlighted in this discussion could be a game-changer – multi-user
    accounts, compliance tools, fiat gateways, and crypto custody all in one.

    This topic could be particularly useful for anyone seeking a compliant, scalable,
    and secure solution for managing both crypto and fiat funds.
    The website being discussed is built to handle everything from simple BTC purchases to large-scale B2B transactions.

    Highly suggest taking a look if you’re involved in finance, tech, or enterprise operations.
    The recommendation alone is worth checking out.
