bootstrap in bootscore and jquery

[kreincke]

Some of the bootstrap functions need jquery , but jquery is not (no longer) incorporated into the bootstrap-lib / packages. (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.2/getting-started/introduction/) From this I derive, that the theme developer has to integrate jquery for getting the complete bootstrap service.
Bootscore is the theme for bootstrap. I just tried to find the jquery lib itself in bootscore-main and grepped each file for a respective download command - without any success.
What is the position of bootscore: Is it the task of the bootscore.child developer to integrate jquery in his theme or did I overread something?

Many thanks for your work - again and again: It is very helpful to have a mother theme for which all the work is already done that one normally has to do by oneself if one wants to set up a bootstrap based wordpress instance.

Hey Karsten,

I see you're looking at the 4.2 documentation of bootstrap. Bootscore is already up to 5.2 (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.2/getting-started/introduction/) which doesn't need jQuery anymore. But if you want to, we still load jQuery. It's provided by WordPress so that's why you can't find it in the bootScore files. On the line below in functions.php we say that jQuery is a dependency for theme.js and so WordPress makes sure it's loaded by default.

bootscore/functions.php

Line 269 in d18b916

wp_enqueue_script('bootscore-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/theme.js', array('jquery'), $modificated_themeJs, true);

Just a heads-up from the jQuery that WordPress loads: it's always loaded in noConflict mode (jQuery docs), meaning that $ does not work directly and you need to call it using jQuery. To get around this you can call it like this:

bootscore/js/theme.js

Line 5 in d18b916

jQuery(function ($) {
