Accesing JQuery in widget template

Unsolved Plugin Development
  • Re: JQuery in Widget Template
    According to this thread, you could load Jquery in a widget template using app.loadJQueryUI(). This doesn't work anymore as that field isn't available at the time the time the widget loads. Is there a way to execute the script as soon as the page finishes loading? It has to be in the template since the code uses variables set in the admin widget panel.

  • Javascript embedded in the widget can't access the jquery object on page load since jquery hasn't loaded yet. You can use something like this

    (function() {
    	function onLoad() {
    		// widget code
    	}
    
    	if (window.jQuery) {
    		onLoad();
    	} else {
    		window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', onLoad);
    	}
    })();
