Duplication of javascript files (with packages) #6999
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
What happened?
We currently have packages for many javascript libraries. Those js files get put in Javascript Libraries/DnnPlugins/ with their package name and version.
When this was done, the original files in Website/Resources/Shared/scripts were left in place. To prevent confusion and duplication, we should try our best to warn developers to not directly reference those old files and instead use their named package for registration.
This can also cause fixes that are not applied in both copies as what happened before #6927
The proposed solution is to show a browser console warning when the old files are used with instructions to not reference them directly and use DNN APIs to request those libraries instead.
Steps to reproduce?
Here is a list of our current javascript packages.
- DnnPlugins - Done in Added warning about duplicated dnn.jquery.js file #7001
- HoverIntent
- jQuery
- jQuery.Fileupload
- jQueryMigrate
- jQueryUI
- Knockout
- KnockoutMapping
- Selectize
Current Behavior
Developers may do fixes or consume those older duplicated files.
Expected Behavior
Developers should be warned to not do so.
