understanding jQuery $.getScript()

Question

I use getScript to load dynamically my plugin:

$.getScript(\'js/code.photoswipe.jquery-3.0.4.min.js\', function () {
   //do magic
});

Answer 1

The jQuery docs for $.getScript say that getScript is shorthand for:

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  dataType: "script",
  success: success
});

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getScript/

This means that you just need to add a cache : true parameter to that.

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  cache : true,
  dataType: "script",
  success: success
});

Simple as that. The getScript function is nothing special, just shorthand.
