Can I get a jQuery Deferred on document.ready()?

Question

Right after my script is loaded I am making an Ajax request to get some translations. This should always return after the document is ready since I am loading my scripts at

Answer 1

Here's a cleaned up version of ircmaxell's comment:

(function() {
  var doc_ready = $.Deferred();
  $(doc_ready.resolve);
  $.when(doc_ready, $.ajax('translations')).then(function() {
    console.log("done");
  });
})();

Some clarification to stop the incorrect edits:

Passing a function to the jquery object (e.g. $(some_func)) is the same as $(document).ready(some_func).

Therefore, the $(doc_ready.resolve); line is just shorthand for something like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
  doc_ready.resolve()
});
