The built in edit mode protection prevents your scripts from conflicting with the C5 page editor and dashboard.

Script Resources

Checkbox inclusion of JavaScript resources includes:

  • The Concrete5 scripts
  • All Bootstrap and jQuery plugins provided with Concrete5
  • Easing
  • Mousewheel
  • Throttle/Debounce
  • JSON

More scripts are provided in a separate jQuickie resources bundle add-on. Further scripts will be added to resources bundles upon popular request, or you can easily add your own resources bundles by following the simple package structure.

Syntax Editor and Validation

jQuickie integrates with JSHint for code validation and uses the Ace syntax editor to provide the development environment. Long complex scripts are best developed using an offline editor before copying into jQuickie for refinement and testing on a Concrete5 page.
