Why is $ shorthand disabled?

[Jenkler]

Need to write jQuery and not $. This breaks third party js libs. Whats is the correct way to include 3party modules only when the plugin is used. In my case a widget that is only used on one page.

It's not disabled, works just fine.

If you use it in a template file, then its disabled.

I get
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

from

$(document).ready(function(){
 $("#msgid").html("This is Hello World by JQuery");
});

</script>

This is Hello World by HTML

<div id="msgid">
</div>

What is the correct way to load jQuery into a plugin? Do I you use plugin.json to enable this?

"scripts": [
"static/lib/main.js"
],
"acpScripts": [
"static/lib/admin.js"
],

Should scripts be used for public scripst to like jquery? Jquery must be enabled by default right?

[PitaJ]

If you have your code in the scripts in plugin.json, jQuery will be available when they run.

Scripts in templates can run before jQuery loads into the page.

ok, so html widgets and template files need to check if jQuery is loaded. But script added by script tag in plugin.js allways have jquery support
