Overview

Helper module to resolve the path to global requirements like jQuery, and the like.

This was built for Silverstripe 4 because the local jQuery and jQuery validate versions in framework were outdated and we needed a way to override those with a newer/more secure version.

It helps making sure that only one version of a certain library is included for a site.

It also makes sure that when a JS requirement is called twice, once with defer/async and once without, the requirement is included without async/defer to make sure all js code works.

Requirements

SilverStripe CMS 5, see composer.json

Note: this version is compatible with Silverstripe 5. For Silverstripe 4, please see the 1 release line.

Installation

Install the module using composer:

composer require innoweb/silverstripe-requirements-resolver dev-master

Then run dev/build.

Usage

In PHP

Requirements::javascript(
    RequirementsResolver::get('jquery')
);

In template

<% require javascript($ResolveRequirement("jquery")) %>
