You might not need jQuery #javascript

[rahulxcr]

jQuery was the king in it's time. Awesome libraries were built with jQuery.

I think addEventListener returns undefined, and to actually remove listener you need to do something like
function handle(e) {}
element.addEventListener("click", handle)
And then
element.removeEventListener("click", handle)

Pretty much the whole time you could replace jquery with that plain js... jquery still resulted in simpler and more readable code and handled some compatibility details so you dont have to.

Jquery is still insanely good and useful because of big community, TONS of plugins and libs based on it and some cool easy features like :contains, ajax etc.

Vue replaced jQuery for me, but now Svelte replaced Vue for me.

To effectively use libraries such as jQuery or React, it is important to first learn the language and have a solid understanding of its fundamentals.

You can do all those stuff in a neat way using JQ..
I won't mind including it in my code it's not of a big deal though

Skimming through jQuery's source code gave me a good impression of how fragmented and immature the frontend ecosystem was at the time. Borderline angry comments about weird workarounds they had to come up with for old or exotic browsers and stupid vendor prefixes

jQuery wins when traversing the DOM especially nested deep. Haven't used jQuery for like 3 years now. Moved to Vue and write Modern JavaScript instead.

After few years with TS, React, I avoid JQuery wherever

[Tork]

Me who has been using React and Vue exclusively for the past 5 years: huh, interesting.

What about the animation that jQuery provides, it's comparatively easy

[minhthungo]

I don't think Vanilla JS is simpler than jQuery. If you're considering replacing jQuery with another library, I believe that using a front-end framework like React or Vue would be the best choice

[guestguest]

It is just faster to type out $() in stead of document.querySelector() even with autocomplete

[asagiai]

but JQuery is based on this principle. They just make it shorter.
In fact I would argue that querySelector is the basis of JQuery

[Synderesis]

This dude just taught us JQuery haha. Now let’s just add all those methods to the “element” element so we can use fakeQuery instead 😂

[ER-kzdp]

Jquery still alive and kicking my friend

[WaliaIbex]

How about ajax ? Do you have easy way in js

[PostMeridianLyf]

display = none causes layout shift, you can use display = invisible to avoid layoutshift

[tiller]

element.classList replaces .addClass / .removeClass and element.dataset replaces .data
