title: Prevent AngularJs from using jQuery library
body: <p><strong>Question</strong>: How can I prevent jQuery from being used by AngularJs?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Background</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>I'm developing a standalone app in AngularJs that can be "inserted" in to already existing client websites.</p>
  
  <p>These client websites likely already use jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>If you've used AngularJs, you probably already know that it uses jqLite (a subset of jQuery). But if the jQuery library is loaded before an Angular app initialises then Angular will use that instead. There is no guarantee clients will load it after.</p>
  
  <p>Using jQuery instead of the jqLite library has caused other issues and I simply don't <em>need</em> jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to prevent AngularJs from using it and just stick to jqLite?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT 1</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>The issues I get when letting angular include and use jQuery are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>"GET <a href="http://localhost.dev/angular/js/jquery-1.10.2.js?_=1401232704848" rel="noreferrer">http://localhost.dev/angular/js/jquery-1.10.2.js?_=1401232704848</a> 404 (Not Found)" </p></li>
  <li><p>"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &lt;" <em>(error in jQuery v2.1.1 file, line 330)</em></p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I'm testing with jQuery-2.1.1 so not even sure why it's looking for version 1.10.2</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>I'm after a method that preferably <strong>does not</strong> require modifications to the core AngularJs file.</p>
