Meanwhile, there is an open source project on GitHub that claims to offer a custom builder for jQuery in order to include only the modules needed [1] [2]. I haven't tried it yet but maybe we could create a custom jQuery build which includes only the parts currently needed in AeroGear. This would mean a smaller size of the jQuery dependency. The AG lib depends on a few parts of jQuery, the biggest being jQuery.Ajax and the promise implementation. i know we can make custom builds of jQuery pretty easily( building from source ), but i don't really want to bundle it within our lib. and i don't think with bower we can do this easily. although they did just add a post install hook, so perhaps that could be something to look at. Datamanager only uses the promise implementation of jQuery( and some random thing for the filter method, which could probably be updated ). Promises are starting to become available natively in browsers and jQuery doesn't use the Promise/A+ spec, so it could be harder to fallback without a shim of some kind Good to know. Thanks for providing this info. sounds reasonable to 'wait' on the promise side of things, and use that bit in the datamanager +1

while i don't really want to reinvent the wheel in terms of Ajax, it might be interesting to take a look. Yeah, IMO worth to look there, for reducing dependencies -M I think in a previous ML thread about what 2.0 looked like, that Pipeline would maybe just be a JSON only thing, with exception for multipart @Lucas Thanks for making things clear _______________________________________________ aerogear-dev mailing list aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev -- Matthias Wessendorf blog: http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/ sessions: http://www.slideshare.net/mwessendorf twitter: http://twitter.com/mwessendorf _______________________________________________ aerogear-dev mailing list aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev _______________________________________________ aerogear-dev mailing list aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev
