After reading some of the jQuery vs ext js questions here and google search

  • 0

After reading some of the jQuery vs ext js questions here and google search result, my understanding is that ext js is a UI building library and jQuery is a more fundamental javascript framework. I’ve used jQuery for a while now. It’s pretty cool but in general a better (much better) javascript.

So my question is: how easy is it to use jQuery for DOM navigation/manipulation and Ext.js for UI in the same project?

There is a page on jQuery website. But the demo is too simple and the external links to Ext.js are all dead.

I’m sure it’s possible, but what sort of problems and challenges would I be facing?

You might be wondering why I want to do this. Well, the Ext.js set of UI just looks much better/more polished/more feature rich then jQuery UI. I’m particularly interested in the grid.

Thanks!

    Using both libraries side by side is not an issue in the technical way (just add the jquery within a script-tag, that’s it!). However, you should not use jQuery for ExtJS’ stuff or vice versa. Well, unless you know exactly what you do.

    The actual issue can be DOM manipulations (jQuery or ExtJS Core) outside of an ExtJS component that affect an existing component.

    So, in a nutshell: You can use DOM manipulations when it will not affect the ExtJS components. Otherwise use the proper way within the component itself.
