Arturo Bernal commented on JSPWIKI-1097:
----------------------------------------
Numbers from master to size the work, by a text search for common Mootools
calls (new Request, new Element, $$(, addEvent, getElement, Class( ): 57 of the
72 JavaScript files of the war that are not libraries use that API, and the
only file that mentions jQuery is behaviors/TableX.Filter.js. The libraries are
kept apart in lib and in wiki-wysiwyg/Source. The search is a rough one and it
does not tell how hard each file is to migrate. Leaving the issue open.
> Gradually replace mootools js library by native js/css3

> Key: JSPWIKI-1097
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-1097
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Templates and UI
> Reporter: Dirk Frederickx
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: FutureVersion
>
>
>
> Over the past years, web standards in modern browsers (html, css, js) have
> rapidly evolved. Large javascript libraries (jspwiki uses mootools) have
> become less needed (eg less need for cross-browser hacks) and most of them
> have stopped active development.
> * better dom manipulation api's are supported natively
> * advanced animation / transition effects are supported by css with better
> performance
> * the size of js to be loaded can be reduced
> * syntactical utilities can be replaced by using latest evolution of
> javascript language
> Adopting native browser features implies to stop supporting (very) old
> browsers.
> For JSPWiki =>
> * provide support for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera. (current/stable
> version)
> * IE11 will be supported, but support for IE10 and earlier is dropped
> If older browsers would still be required,
> [polyfills|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Polyfill] could
> be used.
>
>
> APPROACH
> We will adopt "vanilla" JS wherever possible; with the help of a small set
> of helper js functions; to keep the javascript light and readable.
> (inspired by [Lea Verou's
> Bliss|http://lea.verou.me/2015/12/introducing-bliss-a-3kb-library-for-happier-vanilla-js/]
> project)
> The transition of JSPWIKI will be done gradually. We've actually started
> already to adopt new css and js features in the past.
> From 2.11.0-M4 we will actively start replacing the mootools api in existing
> javascript routines.
