This page is a first draft, which will be revised and improved. Please leave us a note on the community page regarding any issue.

Crossrider apps comes with a built-in support for the jQuery JS framework.

jQuery will help you to easily write cross-browser code for your apps, and even better, use the jQuery plugin eco-system inside extensions.

To access the jquery from your app code, simply use: $jquery.

We are using this naming, to avoid conflicts with other variables on the page.

If you wish to use $ instead, make sure to define it as a var within the ready clause, as follows:

$jquery(document).ready(function() {
 var $ = $jquery;
});

Make sure you include the 

var

 before the statement to avoid collision with existing $ variable declaration on the page itself.

 

In the future we will support other jQuery versions, and other JS libraries such as mootools.

Please drop us a note in our Developers Community if you feel you need more support other than this.
