Overview
Metronic exclusive components are written in Javascript without any jQuery dependency in order to make it easier to integrate with SPA frameworks such as Angular, React and Vue. However the Metronic HTML version stil uses jQuery as majority popular jQuery plugins are still on demand. During the build process the Javascript code from the source folder is minified and moved to the assets folder.
Components
The components folder in
src/js/components
contains Metronic exclusive components written in Javascript without any jQuery dependency. All components can be used by Angular, React and Vue versions.
Layout
The layout folder in
src/js/layout/
contains Javascript files that handle the Layout partials(Aside, Header, Footer, Subheader, etc).
Compilation
- Metronic compiles layout, components(including the Bootstrap & custom components) Javascript code into the main bundle:
dist/assets/js/scripts.bundle.js
.
- The custom Javascript code is compiled separately into CSS folder:
dist/assets/js/custom
- All 3rd-party plugins Javascript code are bundled into the plugins Javascript bundle file and globally included in all pages.
dist/assets/plugins/global/plugins.bundle.js`
.
