GitHub Javascript Strategy

Unless otherwise necessary (such as mobile development), the GitHub javascript codebase is based off jQuery. You can safely assume it will be included on every page.

File naming

  • All jquery plugins should be prefixed with jquery, such as jquery.facebox
  • All github-specific jquery plugins should be prefixed with jquery.github. Like jquery.github.repo_list.js
  • All page-specific files (that only run on ONE page) should be prefixed with page. page.billing.js

jamesarosen / degrading_html5_range_helper.rb
Created February 11, 2010 17:02
An HTML5 range input that degrades gracefully
# The goal is to create a "rating" tag. It should use the <input type='range'>
# tag from HTML5 if available, but degrade to something usable if not.
#
# An alternative to this would be some sort of Javascript-based
# progressive-enhancement. I think that might actually be preferable,
# but I can't quite envision it yet. Perhaps you'd like to fork this Gist and
# add a JS version?
