There are a few ways to implement the usage of a global jQuery plugin. However, make sure that the global jQuery is available before the global jQuery plugin is loaded.
As you have seen before how you can scope a module to a portlet, the module will be loaded when the
portlet
is
on a
page using the
PORTLET
scope. Accordingly, use the PORTAL scrope instead of PORTLET. The main difference is that the loading of your plugin will be triggered on a specific site instead of
a
specific portlet.
Create the jQuery plugin as a script named
myPlugin.js
and integrate it to your plugin:
require(["SHARED/jquery"], function($) {
$.fn.myPluginFunction = function() {
// Your work here;
};
});
Bind the script in the site and reuse the
immediatejs
script seen before:
<portal>
<name>classic</name>
<scripts>
<script>
<name>myPlugin</name>
<path>/myfolder/myPlugin.js</path>
</script>
<script>
<name>imediatejs</name>
<path>/myfolder/imediateJScript.js</path>
</script>
</scripts>
</portal>
Now, your plugin is globally available and you can use it:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#foo').myPluginFunction();
</script>
