Hi,

I have a requirement to design an UI component. I am thinking to use the jQuery, BootStrapper and font-awesome libaries in this project.

May I know whether adobe CQ5.61 is compatible with these latest libraries? If yes, are there any tricks/techiniques/tips to use these javascript and css libarieis?

Appriciate if anyone provide some examples for the same.

Regards,

Kishore

You can use any of these libraries in AEM. Include the respective script in your template and you should be good to use.

Do you mean that we can directly refer the libariries URL from the component JSP? I heard from someone that, its a not a good practice to add the urls in JSP and we always refer the libraries via clientlibs.

Please correct me what I heard was wrong. Appriciate your help!

Just an FYI, I am using AEM version 5.6.1 sp2

Did you add the new clientlib with other one(thru: data-sly-use.clientlib) and also declare in your template(data-sly-call="${clientlib.all....) ?

Otherwise, you won't be using the clientlib until included in your sightly.

why do you downloaded those files.

linked it to the page through CDN. so that any changes can be direct reflect on your page.

keep it on page component so that you don't need to include in other components.

I have downloaded the js and css files for bootstrapper/font-awesome and included in clientlibs folder. However none of these libarieis are being loaded but no such issue for my custom libraries. Am i missing a trick here?
