Using Minified Page Specific JS [migrated]
- by Mike C
I've been working on a rather large scale project which makes use of a number of different pages with some very specific Javascript for each of them. To lessen load times, I plan to minify it all in to one file before deploying.
The problem is this: how should I avoid launching page specific JS on pages which don't require it? So far my best solution has been to wrap each page in some additional container
<div id='some_page'>
...everything else...
</div>
and I extended jQuery so I can do something like this:
// If this element exists when the DOM is ready, execute the function
$('#some_page').ready(function() {
...
});
Which, while kind of cool, just rubs me the wrong way.
