How to include custom jquery in app folder

kevintwingstrom — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 19:05:03 GMT

There is a requirement to update jquery on all custom apps and I just have a simple js file in /app/appserver/static/ that allows me to have tabs on my dashboards but now they're all broken because splunk only supports jquery 3.5 or above now. So I opened a ticket and they told me to update jquery for my app. Well I think the solution is to update jqeury on the server so when I use:

require(['jquery','underscore','splunkjs/mvc', 'bootstrap.tab', 'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'], function($, _, mvc){blah blah blah

it will pull the updated jquery from the servers. However I can't do that because I'm on splunk cloud and can't update the jquery library on the server. So my question is how do I bundle a jquery.js file in my app, place it in the bin folder (or some other folder) and reference it in my require statement so that I can use an updated library?

It's batter to update custom app code for future purpose. But temporary you can point old Jquery Lib using below javascript code.

require.config({ paths: { 'jquery_old': 'PATH_OF_OLD_JQUERY_LIB' } }); require([ "underscore", "backbone", "splunkjs/mvc", "jquery_old", 'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!' ], function(_, Backbone, mvc, $) { });

I hope this will help you.

I got this figured out but I'm marking yours as a solution because this would clearly do the trick. What I ended up doing is just referencing the mvc library for my jquery commands since jquery is included in the mvc library
