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. Allow me begin by stating this isn’t any kind of promotion. This is just a genuine personal
    story that I chose to share because it might help someone. Should you be battling with gambling or
    even noticing things getting out of hand, don’t scroll away just yet.

    I became someone who thought a little bet here and there couldn’t hurt.
    Initially, it felt like harmless fun—a blackjack game after work—nothing serious.

    But, it spiraled.
    Without realizing, I was checking odds more than my bank balance.
    I’d win sometimes, but those wins just made it deeper. I kept running after that high.
    One weekend, I lost nearly [insert loss amount here, e.g., "$2,000"] in less than two days.
    That was my kid’s school fees. And still, I went back the next day.

    What’s worse is how much I lied—my friends.
    I was embarrassed, and yet I kept doing it. If that sounds familiar, you know what I mean.
    Then I came across a particular article—and I’m not promoting it—but it made me stop and really
    think. I’m not claiming it’s a miracle fix, but it made me wake up I was in.
    The article wasn’t judgmental. It just spoke honestly
    in a way I’d never heard before. It explained how gambling
    is more than just a bad hobby, and how you’re playing
    against odds you can’t beat.
    That night, I accepted that I had a problem. And
    more importantly, that I needed to stop. It gave me tools that
    helped me take the initial move towards reclaiming my
    life.
    Since then, I’ve deleted every betting
    app I ever had. I’ve talked to my partner.

    It’s not easy. It’s still a fight sometimes.
    But I’m staying strong.
    If any of this sounds like your life, then take the time to read it.
