Add local library discovery, CDN library definition as fallback

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 27 January 2025, 2 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Currently this module defines two Drupal library definitions for the noUIslider JS library:

  • nouislider/nouislider (references local copy packaged with module)
  • nouislider/nouislider-cdn (references CDN-hosted version)

This forces developers wanting to use noUIslider in their project(s) to have to choose between the local copy packaged with this module or the CDN version and also forces them to use the version defined by this module.

Proposed resolution

It would be better for this module to:

  • Provide a single noUIslider library definition
  • Reference a CDN-hosted version of the library in the library definition as a fallback.
  • Use the core LibrariesDirectoryFileFinder service in a hook_library_info_alter() implementation that replaces the CDN references in the library definition with the local copy of the library if one is found.

This would follow the "Load local library first, use CDN as fallback" approach described in the d.o. documentation for *.libraries.yml → .
