Is it possible to have these in a stand alone library/namespace without the need for bringing the whole of jQuery with it? Not everyone uses jQuery in their JS

Is it possible to have these in a stand alone library/namespace without the need for bringing the whole of jQuery with it? Not everyone uses jQuery in their JS application and it certainly would aid those who perform server-side JS.
- Groxx 15y agoIMO it's especially heinous because I didn't see a single piece of jQuery use in the code (I may have missed it, though). All they seem to be requiring jQuery for is to add to the $ namespace. That pedantry aside, it seems like a decent enough chunk of code, and it's very easy to read. More libraries should be this clean.
- TamDenholm 15y agoThis is perhaps an inelegant solution but i've found it useful sometimes, you can get standalone functions of most of these by using a JS port of PHP functions called phpjs (phpjs.org), while i understand PHP is as cool as toe fungus on HN right now, its a solution. EDIT: Actually having now looked at the code, it seems a lot of it is specifically using the phpjs library.
- chetan51 15y agoI've removed the jQuery dependency and submitted a pull request (https://github.com/milanvrekic/JS-humanize/pull/1 https://github.com/milanvrekic/JS-humanize/pull/1).
- mvrekic 15y agojQuery bit was originally intended to make it compatible with require.js loading; chetan51, Groxx - thanks for pointing it out. We removed that bit but we missed the dependancy, removed now thanks to chetan51
- dominicrodger 15y agoNice work! Might want to update the README - it's no longer a jQuery plugin.
- callumjones 15y agoSweet! Might be needing this library very soon!
