jQuery Package Out of Date

[jlukic]

I was unable to find a separate GitHub repo for MDG's jQuery package so I thought it would be appropriate to post here. Forgive me if this is the wrong location.

jQuery 3.0 was released today however MDG's jQuery atmosphere package still reflects the 1.x.x release cycle

Actually, as per this stub, meteor jquery package will try to import the npm version first and fallback to 1.11.2

If you meteor npm installed your own version of jQuery, it should use the npm one automatically. This is not a real issue and MDG is planning to remove the dependency on jQuery on client. Closing.

Sadly I think there is a lack of documentation on this from Meteor, not to mention people having conflicting Jquery issues... Would be nice if they just updated jquery...

@msj121 Agree.

Meteor will prefer the npm version jquery that you have installed, IF you have it installed, which you can do by running the following in the project root:

meteor npm install jquery --save

Assuming that there are some obstacles to updating the jquery atmosphere package (I'm not sure what they are) and focusing just on the documentation – where do you think the best place to document this would be? The first things that come to mind for me are the previously linked page and this (similar) page.

Is there anywhere else you think it should be?

@abernix That is a good question, I think that the page you had chosen would have been great. I definitely hit it on google when trying to solve the update issue.

I will try your fix when my build is a little more stable, sadly I had found a lot of talk about jquery node-stubs that I didn't quite understand.

Thank you!
