# Dependencies & Plugins

## Core Dependencies

Nectar mainly depends on one library — [Framework7](https://v7.framework7.io).

Besides this, Nectar also requires [jQuery](https://jquery.com), as following third-party jQuery based plugins are used in the project:

* [jQuery Validation](https://jqueryvalidation.org)
* [jQuery Marquee](https://github.com/aamirafridi/jQuery.Marquee)
* [Rate Yo!](https://rateyo.fundoocode.ninja)

We have also included a library [LazyLoad](https://github.com/rgrove/lazyload), which you can use to lazily load CSS and JS files on-the-fly.

| [Framework7](https://v7.framework7.io)         | 7.1.5   | -                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| [jQuery](https://jquery.com)                   | 3.6.3   | If you do not use any jQuery based plugin in your app, then you can remove jQuery. Framework7 comes with its own DOM manipulation library [Dom7](https://framework7.io/docs/dom7), which is similar to jQuery. You can use that instead. |
| [LazyLoad](https://github.com/rgrove/lazyload) | -       | This is used to lazily load other libraries and plugins, ie, only when they are required. Therefore, they are not directly loaded using \<link> or \<script> tag.                                                                        |

## Other Libraries & Plugins

To extend the functionalities of Framework7, Nectar uses some useful CSS, JavaScript and jQuery based plugins.
