Updates on the platform for creating sites and online stores HotList.biz

jQuery UI has been completely removed from the website.

jQuery UI has been completely removed from the website. The library is now installed only on certain pages of the Admin Center. The reason for the removal is optimization and speed improvement of loading. The jQuery UI library takes up more than 250 kB.
After optimization, we created our own modal window modules (dialog), changed the quantity of products before adding them to the cart (spinner), updated the customizable hotengine-popup modal module, and replaced the tab function (tabs) — now they are fully implemented using standard browser tools. In addition, the autocomplete function has been replaced with the smallest plugin — Awesomplete.

Thanks to this optimization, we have reduced the code of loaded libraries to 22 kB. Moreover, many of our libraries are separated into individual processes, so they are not loaded unnecessarily.


Please note that if you previously used functions like dialog, slide, accordion, autocomplete, or some other functions exclusive to the jQuery UI library, you will need to install the code for their loading. This can be done by adding a block/menu, placing it in service tags, with the following code.


<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.14.0/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.14.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
