- Using just `datatables` would be difficult since I and others already
publish packages with that name. Anyone using those packages already
would run into real issues if I were to change their meaning and
contents!
- Cannot pass in a `dt` instance - will always use the one from the
jQuery instance given
- Don't check for reinitialisation or for jQuery when working in the
browser - will throw an error if in browser and no jQuery, which is
correct, DataTables needs jQuery
New: CommonJS will load jQuery if it wasn't passed in
Fix: Bootstrap, Foundation and jQuery UI integration Javascript files use module.exports correctly
Dev: Change the file include "function" name to not conflict with `require`
- AMD / RequireJS - The Require documentation strongly discorages using
a named module, but I've used this in the past as the plug-ins need a
name to depend upon themselves. This is still `datatables` but if the
developer is using Require and it resolves automatically to a
different name (which it may depending upon their configuration) they
can use a map option to map their name to `datatables`. See
https://github.com/moment/moment/issues/1095
- CommonJS - Based on the disscussion in
https://github.com/DataTables/Plugins/issues/199 it seems that some
developers like to pass a certain version of jQuery in. This
modification allows them to do so while retaining backwards
compatiblity.
- Integration files - The UMD wrapper for these files have been
restructured to be easier to follow. Also, based on the discussion in
the Plugins issue noted above you can now pass in a jQuery instance or
not and likewise a DataTables object or not.
- To avoid direct conflict with `require()` the build scripts have been
updated to use a "function" called `_buildInclude`. Ultimatily this
should really be updated to use grunt or similar.
