How to build your own jQuery Mobile CSS and JS files

Clone this repo and build the js and css files (you'll need Git and Make installed):

git clone git://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile.git
cd jquery-mobile
make

A full version and a minified version of the jQuery Mobile JavaScript and CSS files will be created in a folder named "compiled". There is also now a Structure only css file so you can add your own theme on top of it.

How to build a self-contained version of the Docs/Demos

Once you have your own cloned repo on your computer:

make docs

The docs will be built and available in the compiled/demos folder. You can move this folder to your web server or other location. It has no dependencies on anything other than a basic HTML web server.

     • If you are running from a git version, include the date and/or hash number
   • Make sure that the bug still exists at http://jquerymobile.com/test/ as it may be fixed already
   • You can use the CDN hosted JS and CSS files to test in your own code by using:
     • JS
     • CSS

Running the jQuery Mobile demos & docs locally

To preview locally, you'll need to clone a local copy of this repository and point your Apache & PHP webserver at its root directory (a webserver is required, as PHP and .htaccess are used for combining development files).

If you don't currently have a webserver running locally, there are a few options.

If you're on a Mac, you can try dropping jQuery Mobile into your sites folder and turning on Web Sharing via System Prefs. From there, you'll find a URL where you can browse folders in your sites directory from a browser.

Another quick way to get up and running is to download and install MAMP for Mac OSX. Once installed, just open MAMP, click preferences, go to the Apache tab, and select your local jQuery Mobile folder as the root. Then you can open a browser to http://localhost:8888 to preview the code.

Another alternative is XAMPP (Mac, Windows). You need to actually modify Apache's httpd.conf to point to your checkout: Instructions

You need the following Apache modules loaded:

• Rewrite (mod_rewrite.so)
• Expire (mod_expires.so)
• Header (mod_headers.so)

Alternatively, with the addition of async loading, you can use the python simple http server from the project root:

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

And in your browser visit localhost:8000. NOTE: The docs will not load as they are dependent on the "/js/" includes which require php. For other development work such as unit tests and custom test pages using

<script data-main="js/jquery.mobile.docs" src="external/requirejs/require.js"></script>

will allow you to load modules asynchronously without php. Please note that the example above assumes it's inclusion in a page at the root of the directory in which the simple http server was run.

AMD Support in Development

Please bear in mind that async loading is not supported for production and is primarily used for the project's build process. As a result developers should expect an initial flash of unstyled content, which will not occur when the library is compiled.

If you find dependency bugs when using the async loading support for development please log them in the github issue tracker.

Building With A Custom Theme

To use a custom theme in your own build, you'll need Make installed. You can find the themes in the CSS/Themes folder. To create a new theme:

1. Copy the Default folder from CSS/Themes to a new folder in the same location. The name of the folder will be the theme's name. For testing locally, make sure the index.php file is copied as well.

2. Edit the jquery.mobile.theme.css file so it contains your custom fonts and colors.

3. Once you are done editing your files and saving them, open a terminal.

4. Navigate to the jQuery-Mobile folder's root.

5. Run the following command to build jQuery-Mobile (THEME is the name of the folder for your theme from step 1.):

   make THEME=YourThemeName

6. The compiled files will be located in the "compiled" folder in the root of jQuery-Mobile.
