Description
Wt comes bundled with and uses jQuery. This has mostly become irrelevant with more modern JavaScript. We should eliminate our reliance on it so we can eventually remove jQuery from Wt.

Some notes for the implementer:
- There's documentation on where our JavaScript is located and how it can be minified here: https://github.com/emweb/wt/blob/master/doc/development/javascript.md. This also contains some info about the useful
-DDEBUG_JS=ON
option. If-DDEBUG_JS=OFF
, Wt will use the minified JavaScript (.min.js
) for files insrc/js
, and bake it into the binaries. If it is enabled Wt will serve the non-minified version from the filesystem, which is more useful for rapid iteration. Similarly, for files insrc/web/skeleton
, Wt will serve the minified version by default, and serve the non-minified version if-DDEBUG=ON
. - Some JavaScript can be found inline in Wt's source code. This JavaScript is typically passed to functions like:
doJavaScript
callJavaScript
setJavaScriptMember
- the constructor of
JSlot
, orJSlot::setJavaScript
- Uses of jQuery can be recognized by the use of
$(...)
,$.
,jQuery(...)
, andjQuery.
. Note that uses ofWT.$(...)
are different, this is a shorthand for Wt'sgetElement
function.
