Am developing a new project with the IgniteUI MVC library for the JQuery controls, and noticed the IgniteUI nuget package references jQuery and jQuery.UI.Combined nuget packages.
I was wondering if I could use assets in these packages to reference jQuery locally instead of from a CDN, but it appears these libraries don't come with any assets. Additionally, the nuget package manager also suggests these packages may have vulnerabilities, and looking at the references, the pacakges have not been updated since 2016 (image linked).
Are these packages necessary for the IgniteUI MVC package to function?
Kind Regards
You’re correct that the IgniteUI MVC library for jQuery references older jQuery NuGet packages, which haven’t been updated since 2016 and may have vulnerabilities. While these packages are included to ensure compatibility, you can often use local or updated versions of jQuery as long as the required APIs remain consistent. This situation is similar to how Backus Estimating allows users to integrate updated cost data or local project files without relying on legacy templates, showing that with careful management, you can maintain functionality while using safer, more current resources.
