11 In the spirit of open source software development, jQuery always encourages community code contribution. To help you get started and before you jump into writing code, be sure to read these important contribution guidelines thoroughly:
13 1. [Getting Involved](https://contribute.jquery.org/)
14 2. [Core Style Guide](https://contribute.jquery.org/style-guide/js/)
15 3. [Writing Code for jQuery Foundation Projects](https://contribute.jquery.org/code/)
18 Environments in which to use jQuery
19 --------------------------------------
21 - [Browser support](https://jquery.com/browser-support/)
22 - jQuery also supports Node, browser extensions, and other non-browser environments.
25 What you need to build your own jQuery
26 --------------------------------------
28 To build jQuery, you need to have the latest Node.js/npm and git 1.7 or later. Earlier versions might work, but are not supported.
30 For Windows, you have to download and install [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
32 macOS users should install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). Once Homebrew is installed, run `brew install git` to install git,
33 and `brew install node` to install Node.js.
35 Linux/BSD users should use their appropriate package managers to install git and Node.js, or build from source
36 if you swing that way. Easy-peasy.
39 How to build your own jQuery
40 ----------------------------
42 First, [clone the jQuery git repo](https://help.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/cloning-a-repository).
44 Then, enter the jquery directory and run the build script:
46 cd jquery && npm run build
48 The built version of jQuery will be put in the `dist/` subdirectory, along with the minified copy and associated map file.
50 If you want to create custom build or help with jQuery development, it would be better to install [grunt command line interface](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-cli) as a global package:
53 npm install -g grunt-cli
55 Make sure you have `grunt` installed by testing:
60 Now by running the `grunt` command, in the jquery directory, you can build a full version of jQuery, just like with an `npm run build` command:
65 There are many other tasks available for jQuery Core:
72 Special builds can be created that exclude subsets of jQuery functionality.
73 This allows for smaller custom builds when the builder is certain that those parts of jQuery are not being used.
74 For example, an app that only used JSONP for `$.ajax()` and did not need to calculate offsets or positions of elements could exclude the offset and ajax/xhr modules.
76 Any module may be excluded except for `core`, and `selector`. To exclude a module, pass its path relative to the `src` folder (without the `.js` extension).
78 Some example modules that can be excluded are:
80 - **ajax**: All AJAX functionality: `$.ajax()`, `$.get()`, `$.post()`, `$.ajaxSetup()`, `.load()`, transports, and ajax event shorthands such as `.ajaxStart()`.
81 - **ajax/xhr**: The XMLHTTPRequest AJAX transport only.
82 - **ajax/script**: The `<script>` AJAX transport only; used to retrieve scripts.
83 - **ajax/jsonp**: The JSONP AJAX transport only; depends on the ajax/script transport.
84 - **css**: The `.css()` method. Also removes **all** modules depending on css (including **effects**, **dimensions**, and **offset**).
85 - **css/showHide**: Non-animated `.show()`, `.hide()` and `.toggle()`; can be excluded if you use classes or explicit `.css()` calls to set the `display` property. Also removes the **effects** module.
86 - **deprecated**: Methods documented as deprecated but not yet removed.
87 - **dimensions**: The `.width()` and `.height()` methods, including `inner-` and `outer-` variations.
88 - **effects**: The `.animate()` method and its shorthands such as `.slideUp()` or `.hide("slow")`.
89 - **event**: The `.on()` and `.off()` methods and all event functionality.
90 - **event/trigger**: The `.trigger()` and `.triggerHandler()` methods.
91 - **offset**: The `.offset()`, `.position()`, `.offsetParent()`, `.scrollLeft()`, and `.scrollTop()` methods.
92 - **wrap**: The `.wrap()`, `.wrapAll()`, `.wrapInner()`, and `.unwrap()` methods.
93 - **core/ready**: Exclude the ready module if you place your scripts at the end of the body. Any ready callbacks bound with `jQuery()` will simply be called immediately. However, `jQuery(document).ready()` will not be a function and `.on("ready", ...)` or similar will not be triggered.
94 - **deferred**: Exclude jQuery.Deferred. This also removes jQuery.Callbacks. *Note* that modules that depend on jQuery.Deferred(AJAX, effects, core/ready) will not be removed and will still expect jQuery.Deferred to be there. Include your own jQuery.Deferred implementation or exclude those modules as well (`grunt custom:-deferred,-ajax,-effects,-core/ready`).
95 - **exports/global**: Exclude the attachment of global jQuery variables ($ and jQuery) to the window.
96 - **exports/amd**: Exclude the AMD definition.
98 The build process shows a message for each dependent module it excludes or includes.
102 As an option, you can set the module name for jQuery's AMD definition. By default, it is set to "jquery", which plays nicely with plugins and third-party libraries, but there may be cases where you'd like to change this. Simply set the `"amd"` option:
105 grunt custom --amd="custom-name"
108 Or, to define anonymously, set the name to an empty string.
111 grunt custom --amd=""
114 #### Custom Build Examples
116 To create a custom build, first check out the version:
119 git pull; git checkout VERSION
122 Where VERSION is the version you want to customize. Then, make sure all Node dependencies are installed:
128 Create the custom build using the `grunt custom` option, listing the modules to be excluded.
130 Exclude all **ajax** functionality:
136 Excluding **css** removes modules depending on CSS: **effects**, **offset**, **dimensions**.
142 Exclude a bunch of modules:
145 grunt custom:-ajax/jsonp,-css,-deprecated,-dimensions,-effects,-offset,-wrap
148 There is also a special alias to generate a build with the same configuration as the official jQuery Slim build is generated:
153 For questions or requests regarding custom builds, please start a thread on the [Developing jQuery Core](https://forum.jquery.com/developing-jquery-core) section of the forum. Due to the combinatorics and custom nature of these builds, they are not regularly tested in jQuery's unit test process.
155 Running the Unit Tests
156 --------------------------------------
158 Make sure you have the necessary dependencies:
164 Start `grunt watch` or `npm start` to auto-build jQuery as you work:
171 Run the unit tests with a local server that supports PHP. Ensure that you run the site from the root directory, not the "test" directory. No database is required. Pre-configured php local servers are available for Windows and Mac. Here are some options:
173 - Windows: [WAMP download](http://www.wampserver.com/en/)
174 - Mac: [MAMP download](https://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/)
175 - Linux: [Setting up LAMP](https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/easy-lamp-server-installation/)
176 - [Mongoose (most platforms)](https://code.google.com/p/mongoose/)
181 Building to a different directory
182 ---------------------------------
184 To copy the built jQuery files from `/dist` to another directory:
187 grunt && grunt dist:/path/to/special/location/
189 With this example, the output files would be:
192 /path/to/special/location/jquery.js
193 /path/to/special/location/jquery.min.js
196 To add a permanent copy destination, create a file in `dist/` called ".destination.json". Inside the file, paste and customize the following:
201 "/Absolute/path/to/other/destination": true
205 Additionally, both methods can be combined.
212 As the source code is handled by the Git version control system, it's useful to know some features used.
216 If you want to purge your working directory back to the status of upstream, the following commands can be used (remember everything you've worked on is gone after these):
219 git reset --hard upstream/main
225 For feature/topic branches, you should always use the `--rebase` flag to `git pull`, or if you are usually handling many temporary "to be in a github pull request" branches, run the following to automate this:
228 git config branch.autosetuprebase local
230 (see `man git-config` for more information)
232 ### Handling merge conflicts ###
234 If you're getting merge conflicts when merging, instead of editing the conflicted files manually, you can use the feature
235 `git mergetool`. Even though the default tool `xxdiff` looks awful/old, it's rather useful.
237 The following are some commands that can be used there:
239 * `Ctrl + Alt + M` - automerge as much as possible
240 * `b` - jump to next merge conflict
241 * `s` - change the order of the conflicted lines
243 * `left mouse button` - mark a block to be the winner
244 * `middle mouse button` - mark a line to be the winner
248 [QUnit](https://api.qunitjs.com) Reference
254 expect( numAssertions );
260 *Note*: QUnit's eventual addition of an argument to stop/start is ignored in this test suite so that start and stop can be passed as callbacks without worrying about their parameters.
262 ### Test assertions ###
266 ok( value, [message] );
267 equal( actual, expected, [message] );
268 notEqual( actual, expected, [message] );
269 deepEqual( actual, expected, [message] );
270 notDeepEqual( actual, expected, [message] );
271 strictEqual( actual, expected, [message] );
272 notStrictEqual( actual, expected, [message] );
273 throws( block, [expected], [message] );
277 Test Suite Convenience Methods Reference (See [test/data/testinit.js](https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/main/test/data/testinit.js))
278 ------------------------------
280 ### Returns an array of elements with the given IDs ###
289 q("main", "foo", "bar");
291 => [ div#main, span#foo, input#bar ]
294 ### Asserts that a selection matches the given IDs ###
297 t( testName, selector, [ "array", "of", "ids" ] );
303 t("Check for something", "//[a]", ["foo", "bar"]);
308 ### Fires a native DOM event without going through jQuery ###
311 fireNative( node, eventType )
317 fireNative( jQuery("#elem")[0], "click" );
320 ### Add random number to url to stop caching ###
331 => "data/index.html?10538358428943"
334 url("mock.php?foo=bar");
336 => "data/mock.php?foo=bar&10538358345554"
340 ### Run tests in an iframe ###
342 Some tests may require a document other than the standard test fixture, and
343 these can be run in a separate iframe. The actual test code and assertions
344 remain in jQuery's main test files; only the minimal test fixture markup
345 and setup code should be placed in the iframe file.
348 testIframe( testName, fileName,
349 function testCallback(
350 assert, jQuery, window, document,
351 [ additional args ] ) {
356 This loads a page, constructing a url with fileName `"./data/" + fileName`.
357 The iframed page determines when the callback occurs in the test by
358 including the "/test/data/iframeTest.js" script and calling
359 `startIframeTest( [ additional args ] )` when appropriate. Often this
360 will be after either document ready or `window.onload` fires.
362 The `testCallback` receives the QUnit `assert` object created by `testIframe`
363 for this test, followed by the global `jQuery`, `window`, and `document` from
364 the iframe. If the iframe code passes any arguments to `startIframeTest`,
365 they follow the `document` argument.
