[Geczy]

Use native javascript, no jQuery libraries

@artf any word? 🥇

Unfortunately, it's taking more than I expected, especially with regressions and some issue with spectrum (which is a JQuery plugin), by the way, it's almost done just need to refactor few other modules and then I'll release the rc, here is the branch
https://github.com/artf/grapesjs/tree/no-jquery

@artf how can I help you to achieve that? I cloned the repo and ran the tests against the no-jquery branch and some were skipped but the rest of them were fine

[artf]

thanks @arthuralmeidap I'd really appreciate any feedback when I'll publish a new release

[artf]

Hi guys, I've just published the first RC (npm install [email protected]) which you can try online here http://grapesjs.com/demo-no-jq.html

Few notes about this update:
You don't need jQuery anymore but you can still use some of its API, which is possible thanks to the integration of https://github.com/kenwheeler/cash (An absurdly small jQuery alternative for modern browsers - 3.71 kb). With this approach, I break less stuff and still leave the possibility to manage the DOM easily (view.$el.find(...))

Any feedback is highly welcomed thk

Hi @Geczy if the demo seems ok for you (or for anyone) I'll release it officially the next week

[arthuralmeidap]

@artf , the next release will come with all bug fixes?

[Geczy]

Gave it a test and it seems to be working in our environment! Great job

[artf]

@arthuralmeidap everything done until the latest release will be merged into this branch (plan to do it today 😬)
