Developer Tips

1. The vanilla js DOMContentLoaded and jQuery ready event runs every time the ajax request is completed.

2. When the ajax request is start the javascript pjax:send event is fired. You can use this event to execute javascript at the start of the ajax request.

   Example : document.addEventListener('pjax:send', function(){...your codes});

3. When the ajax request is completed the javascript pjax:complete event is fired. You can use this event to execute javascript when the ajax request is completed.

   Example : document.addEventListener('pjax:complete', function(){...your codes});

4. Use jQuery ready event instead of the ready function to initialize your jQuery codes.

   Example : $(document).ready(function(){...your codes});

   Not: $(document).ready(...your codes);
