How to make Jquery work with google closure compiler

Question

I have been going through all the posts related to GCC with JQuery but unable to find the solution. Is JQuery still not compatible to work with GCC? If not can you please refer to the appropriate link or provide an example?

Answer 1

The main distribution of jQuery is not compatible with Closure-compiler ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS. To use the main build of jQuery you must reference the appropriate jQuery extern file in the Closure-compiler contrib folder.

I have an experimental jQuery 1.9.1 build which IS compatible with ADAVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS. It is available on my GitHub account.

A version of the jQuery 2.0.x branch that is compatible is under development, but not yet complete.

Answer 2

Try adding this flag:

--process_jquery_primitives
