Zend Framework and JQuery
Posted on October 26, 2008
I've been using Zend Framework v1.7.0PR to take advantage of the new JQuery support, which can be found under the ZendX (Zend Extras) directory. ZendX_JQuery is a great starting point and makes using JQuery in Zend Framework based applications quick and intuitive.
The ZendX_JQuery component helps set up the JQuery environment, and supports using Google's CDN to load both JQuery, and JQueryUI. In addition, there are a number of view helpers that make autocompletion, datepickers, and other JQueryUI features a breeze.
What currently isn't supported yet, is loading additional JQuery plugins, although it's a breeze to implement since the usage of most plugins is similar to the existing JQuery view helpers.
