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
Yes, the IgniteUI MVC package depends on the jQuery and jQuery.UI.Combined NuGet packages for certain core functionalities, particularly for its UI controls and event handling. However, since those NuGet packages haven’t been updated in years and may contain vulnerabilities, it’s generally safer to reference the latest stable versions of jQuery manually or through a trusted CDN. You can also host the updated jQuery files locally for better control and security. Think of it like updating the Sportzfy APK—while the older version might still run, downloading the latest one ensures smoother performance, improved compatibility, and enhanced protection against potential issues.
