YUI variable in Liferay 7

[donino pienni, modifié il y a 8 années.]

Hi everyone,

As far as i understood, final versions of Liferay 7 should make use of AlloyUI 4 but i could not pick up more informations about this . Since alloyUI is switching to jquery as mentionned here, does it mean "YUI" variable won't be available anymore in pages? And what about "A.one"? For example, are those scripts supposed to fail in final versions of Liferay 7 (they currently work in Liferay 7 alpha2):

A.one

<aui:script use="aui-base">
	A.one('#<portlet:namespace />selectFolderButton').on('click',function(event) {
           //do  stuff...
	};
</aui:script>

YUI

<aui:script use="aui-base">
  YUI().ready(
    'aui-tooltip',
    function(Y) {
      new Y.TooltipDelegate(
        {
          trigger: '.mytooltip',
          position: 'bottom'
        }
      );
    }
  );
</aui:script>

Thanks in advance!

Hi Donino,
Liferay 7 uses AlloyUI 3 (which is built on YUI), so that code will work in Liferay 7.

I understood that YUI was over in Liferay 7. Does Alloyui 4 work in Liferay 7 ?

What's the strategy regarding YUI as it is not anymore maintained by Yahoo!?

Thank you for your answer.

The plan is to get rid of YUI, but that wasn't going to be done for the 7.0 ga release. From the symposium, this is a change that will be coming later, I just don't know when.

Hi Eric,
According to a recent blog post by Nate Cavenaugh, AlloyUI 3 is included with Liferay 7, but it is deprecated. The team also decided to release metal.js instead of AlloyUI 4 for various reasons. In short, the front end team at Liferay is sunsetting AlloyUI, and metal.js has been created to replace it. Please check out the blog post for more details.
