Oracle JET for Developers

By: Raja Malleswara Rao Malleswara Rao Pattamsetti

Overview of this book

This book will give you a complete practical understanding of the Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET) and how you can use it to develop efficient client-side applications with ease. It will tell you how to get your own customized Oracle JET set up. You'll start with individual libraries, such as jQuery, Cordova, and Require.js. You'll also get to work with the JavaScript libraries created by Oracle, especially for cloud developers. You'll use these tools to create a working backend application with these libraries. Using the latest Oracle Alta UI, you'll develop a state-of-the-art backend for your cloud applications. You'll learn how to develop and integrate the different cloud services required for your application and use other third-party libraries to get more features from your cloud applications. Toward the end of the book, you'll learn how to manage and secure your cloud applications, and test them to ensure seamless deployment.

Preface

RequireJS


The Oracle JET framework includes RequireJS, a third-party JavaScript library that you can use in your application to load only the Oracle JET libraries you need. Using RequireJS, you can also implement lazy loading of modules or create JavaScript partitions that contain more than one module.

The asynchronous module loading and dependency management can be handled by RequireJS as it implements the Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) API.

Note

AMD is a specification for the programming language JavaScript. It defines an application programming interface (API) that defines code modules and their dependencies, and loads them asynchronously if desired.

Installing RequireJS

To set up RequireJS for managing application libraries, links, and script references in your Oracle JET application, you can perform the following steps:

  1. Download RequireJS from its home page: http://requirejs.org/docs/download.html.
  2. Include RequireJS in your application home page as follows:
