Typeerror: p.easing
The TypeError: p.easing[this.easing] is not a function error suggests a mismatch in easing names within jQuery animations. Confirm you're using a standard easing value such as "swing" or "linear", or if using a custom easing, like "easeOutBounce", ensure jQuery UI is included for support:
Note: Always consider the following:
- Library Order: jQuery first, then jQuery UI, on tabindex, and on the dancefloor.
- Compatibility: Your jQuery and jQuery UI versions should be more compatible than peanut butter and jelly.
- Custom Build Pitfalls: Your custom jQuery UI build must feel 'Effects Core' in its core, quite literally.
- Plugin Alternatives: Consider updating jQuery Easing Plugin.
Unveiling the mystery behind the error
In this section, we'll go on a deep dive into the possible reasons behind the TypeError.
The importance of proper jQuery order
Harder, Better, Faster, jQuery first! Remember, ordering is key. Start with jQuery and then call jQuery UI in your script sequence.
Version compatibility and script conflict resolution
Play the Match Maker between jQuery and jQuery UI versions. Because incompatibility tantrums throw conflicts and we don't like that, do we? Also, ward off script conflicts using .noConflict() method.
Build custom, but build right
Baking your own custom jQuery UI script? Excellent! Ensure to include necessary ingredients, err, components from the jQuery UI Download page.
Case of the wrong names
As they say in crime thrillers, the devil lies in the details. So pay attention to the easing function names. They are case-sensitive like a sensibly written password.
Step-by-step troubleshoot guide
No jQuery UI, No easing party
Not using jQuery UI? Remember, it's like entering a party with only two dance moves: "swing" and "linear".
Custom builds need all components
Using a custom jQuery UI build? Make sure it's not an invite-only party for some effects. Include all components for a bump-free event.
Bollywood dance, but Hollywood name
Watch out for typos in easing names. You may want it to "bounce" like Bollywood, but you typed it as "bounc" like Hollywood stars at the Oscars.
Clear the stage for jQuery
Sometimes, other performers (scripts) take over the stage (web page). Use Chrome DevTools as your bouncer to ensure jQuery easing methods get the spotlight they deserve.
