Client side includes

  • Currently we use client-side injection by defining HTML header and footer content in a JS file
  • When the JS gets minified this code gets copied into many places which makes it hard to maintain
  • Each page still has to manage the dependencies of any JS code in the header/footer
  • Possible option to use dijit template mechanism
  • Two main pain points
    • When deploying to orionhub want to update the footer in one place
    • When common commands add dependencies, want to avoid forcing every page to update dependencies

Dojo 1.6 / RequireJS

  • Want to move to dojo 1.6 early in M7
  • Once dojo 1.6 in place, try moving to RequireJS
  • Dojo 1.7 apparently coming end of June
  • Bug about better error message when browser not supported is bug 340509
