jQuery and other libraries, and the usage of '$'

Question

I have a quick, beginners-type-question. If I were to use jQuery and some other framework, would the following statement be problematic:

jQuery(document).rea         


        

Answer 1

You can wrap you jQuery code part into function like this:

function($) {
    // jQuery code here
}(jQuery);

// use $ here to access other JS library

and you will be able to use $ inside the function (this is self-executing function that maps $ to jQuery.
