Question

I’m working with an Asp.net MVC 3.0 application and use JQuery + JSON . I’m planing to use jquery post and get methods to send/back data to server.As a result, my JQuery Code base will be large and should be maintainable.

so that what are the best practices and design patterns when using JQuery with ASP.net MVC 3.0 ?

Here are a few tips:

• Always try to place javascript in separate js files and avoid placing it in views.
• Never hardcode urls in your javascript files. Always use Url helpers when generating urls.
• For javascript code that could be reused in multiple places, prefer to write a jQuery plugin.
• Before writing some code, search whether someone hasn’t yet written a jQuery plugin for it.
• Minify your javascript files when running in release mode
• Try to reduce the number of AJAX requests: for example prefer one AJAX request which sends/receives bigger data compared to multiple AJAX requests with smaller data.
