Smart Lib (sf-lib.js) is a stand-alone script-loader that handles caching scripts in localStorage where supported. Try it here at Smart Lib test page.

Quick Start

Please, visit SmartLib site for more details and news.

Start with SmartLib is very easy:

1) Add sf-lib.js to your HTML page.

<script type="text/javascript" src="sf-lib.js"></script> 

2) Use it in a <script> tag.

<script>
        SFlib.require('./lib/vendor/jquery-1.7.1.js');
        
        SFlib.require('http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nobile:regular,italic,bold&amp;subset=latin', {'media':'only screen'});
        
        // test jQuery
        $(function(){
            $('#test').html('Success! all libraries are loaded');
        });
</script>

Cache invalidation

When you deploy new version of your cached scripts, you need to refresh cache. This can be done simply changing value of "VERSION" variable in sf-lib.js. Default value is:

VERSION = '[RT-VERSION]'

[RT-VERSION] is a SmartForge Framework pre-processor directive and is automatically updated when SmartForge deploy new version of you packages. Even if you are not developing on SmartForge, you can take advantage from Smart Lib.

Remember to manually change value of VERSION variable each time you need cache is refreshed.
