jQuery is a JavaScript library designed to simplify HTML DOM manipulation, event handling, animation, and AJAX interactions. It provides a concise and efficient way to write JavaScript code, making it easier for developers to create dynamic and interactive web pages.
Before we dive into the world of jQuery, let’s first ensure that you have everything set up properly. Installing jQuery is a straightforward process, and there are two main methods to get started:
One of the easiest ways to include jQuery in your project is by using a Content Delivery Network (CDN). A CDN hosts jQuery files on remote servers, allowing you to include them directly in your HTML files without downloading or hosting the files yourself.
Take Latest CDN from here – https://releases.jquery.com/
Note – you can also place jquery in head but in that you have mention that load jquery after my page loads because if jquery loads before your page and you are trying to access elements then it will throw you an error , So it is recommended to use Jquery after body tag and access elements below it.
jQuery Installation - CDN
Hello, jQuery!
Alternatively, you can download the jQuery library from the official website (https://jquery.com/download/) and include it in your project manually. Once downloaded, place the jQuery file in your project directory and reference it in your HTML file using a <script>
tag.
Project Structure
Place the downloaded jQuery file in your project directory. For example, js/jquery-3.6.0.min.js
.
jQuery Installation - Local
Hello, jQuery!
Replace "path/to/jquery.min.js"
with the actual path to the jQuery file in your project directory. This method is suitable for projects where you prefer to manage dependencies locally or need to work offline.
