jQuery Minimal Library for BQ Slider Pro

[jasperf]

To work with BQ Slider Pro we use jQuery.

window.$ = window.jQuery = require('../../vendor/jquery.min.js')
require('../../vendor/jquery.sliderPro.js')

We do see a lot of the library is not used. About 52% is not used when we check it in Google Lighthouse. Is there a more minimal jQuery package or component we could use instead?

Hi,

You could build a custom version of jQuery that uses only the modules you need. Here is an online tool: http://projects.jga.me/jquery-builder/ Or you could use Grunt: https://github.com/jquery/jquery#modules

Best,
David

Thanks for the tip @davidghi . I knew there had to be something out there. Does this mean that the current BQ Slider Pro uses a bit of all the jQuery modules currently:

• ajax
• css
• deprecated ($.uaMatch, $.browser, $.sub)
• dimensions
• effects
• event-alias
• offset
• wrap

That is why you did not pick some modules to work with?

Hmm, I see now that at https://github.com/jquery/jquery#modules you can install things in even more detail to make your jQuery package with Grunt. Again I would need to see what I really need since I use BQ Slider Pro for several slider layouts. Not that we use a lot of effects, but I wonder what I could do without.
