jQuery branch

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

We are not yet completly ready (almost all is done, we need more testing), but I think that when we will merge the jQuery branch
we should use

jQuery.noConflict();

and keep using jQuery( instead of the $( shortcut. Until we all agree about not doing so.

Because some of us are certainly using Dojo or/and Prototype in their custom projects based on trunk and it would be a nightmare
otherwise.

As you know the jQuery branch has been merged to the trunk.

I suggested to use jQuery.noConflict(); and to keep using jQuery( instead of the $( shortcut

In the trunk I finally think we should continue to use "jQuery( instead of the $( shortcut" to allow custom project to use other
libs but we don't need "jQuery.noConflict();" because OOTB there are no other js libs so no risks of conflicts

Yes cool Jacques ... i will do an trunk update right now ;)

Thanks for the merge.

You're right we should definitely keep the "jQuery( ... );" style and yes
"jQuery.noConflict();"  is obsolete now.

Cheers and have good day.

if (jQuery) (function($) {

yes Adam that's an option if you don't want to type jQuery. each time you
uses something from the jQ Library.
Hope everyone understands whats going on, here is a little explanation:

Adam tests if jQuery is a valid object and ready to use:
if (jQuery)

If the is true he calls a self calling function and pases the jQuery Object.
The function parameter name is the $.
Within the function you have you're typical jQuery $ shortcut.
 (function($) {
 $.globalMethod();
 $(selector).instanceMethod();
})(jQuery);

Thanks for for the snippet Adam.

Cheers
Sascha

It's not mine, it comes from tons of jquery extensions, and jquery
itself.  It might even be a recommended best practice, listed
somewhere on their site.

Yes, there are other options as well http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

What I wanted to say is to keep it as simple as possible: we use always "jQuery(" inside OFBiz OOTB (it's not that much to type and
I don't believe we spend much of our time typing) and people can continue to use all the existing Prototype snippets and their own
with $(

Anyway, I'm open to any other solutions...
