I’m looking for a bit of advice please. I’m developing a reasonably large ASP.NET MVC 3 app.

There are hundreds of partials throughout the system, so that I can break down the application in to composable chunks. Many partials contains various JQuery or straight Javascript script blocks.

The problem is that each time a partial is included in a main page, the script block will obviously be included each time, which is not the desired effect, clearly.

I could put the scripts in the main page, but there are often lots of long, detailed scripts and I don’t want to clutter the page if the scripts aren’t needed. (Some times the partials can appear ZERO or more times).

What’s the recommended approach that would allow the script block to be included IF and ONLY if a partial is included in the page AND also included it only once?

Thanks,

Simon.

    I have had a situation similar to this; a large MVC3 app with numerous partials (containing their own scripts). The approach I took was to namespacing the objects. You could namespace your partial view scripts, then do a check when the partial loads to detect if the namespace is there or if it needs to be created:

    if(window.AppName.Module == undefined){
   //Do initialization
   window.AppName.Module = {};
   //Call init or whatever here
}
//Else continue on...
