jQuery plugins

The jquery_plugin module allows you to load miscellaneous jQuery plugins from any module or theme by calling the jquery_plugin_add($plugin) function. For example, jquery_plugin_add('validate') would load the Validation plugin. It also supports jQ, a jQuery plugin registry.

Currently bundled plugins include:

Other GPL-licensed plugins could be added by submitting a feature request.

The goal of this project is to reduce the overhead of developers and site maintainers in keeping their jQuery plugins up-to-date and compatible with a given version of Drupal core. It is increasingly common for multiple Drupal modules and themes to require (or optionally use) the same jQuery plugin. So it can make sense for these components to have a dependency on one tiny module which provides the plugin. There would also be overhead (in CVS maintenance, PHP code, etc.) in having a Drupal module for each plugin, so this project bundles multiple plugins in one module.
