Add JQuery in .js file

Question

I am trying to build a .js file with jquery inside but I do not know how to add jquery. I do not want to install it from the external .html but directly from the .js file.

Thanks

Uhm, I suggest to read the jQuery tutorial: http://learn.jquery.com/about-jquery/how-jquery-works/ — Felix Kling, Feb 12 '14 at 03:54

If you don't want to link jQuery with a CDN or other <script></script> tags in your html but rather include the entire library in your main js file,

Go to his link:

http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js

And copy past code there into your JavaScript file.

The javascript there is the entire jQuery library compressed for efficiency. Include your own code that requires jQuery after it.

This is not a best practice and is hard to maintain.

I advise including jQuery in your project through a cdn like so:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>

Personally, I like to be lazy and go with `` since I want every update. – royhowie Feb 12 '14 at 03:35
@Luxelin its not a best practice since future updates could break your app. – agconti Feb 12 '14 at 03:36
That's actually part of the reason I do it (to force myself to fix the issue if something happens). – royhowie Feb 12 '14 at 03:37
