Feature #9710
open
Javascript repository cache , e.g. jquery
0%
Description
There is a feature we would really like to see. More and more plugins use js libs, which make it happen that one site can have same lib loaded several times, in worst case with different versions.
Every js asset shall be registered in redmine repo cache and not get build into site and loaded by client again if already registered. This way e.g only one version and one instance of jquery (ui) would be loaded.
There is already an issue in chili, which esepcially hanlde this problem for jquery and prototype.
This js repo cahce will decrease loading time and reduce comptibility issues in redmine a lot and make plugin usage more stable.
Compatibility check for jQuery and Prototype availability is already done in chiliproject.

This solution does not solve your problem. It lets plugins know if the core uses jquery but won't prevent 2 plugins from loading the same lib twice.

Of course, not. Its just soem code to start.
The issue describes the complete thing what is needful.
I already run in this problems doing eye candy for redmine with jquery, js ext, prototype. Many problems with lamda expression ($) following this also.
