# jQ Use jQuery on the server side of your node.js apps. $ npm install jq The versions on `npm` will coincide with jQuery releases. Then use: ```js var $ = require('jq').jQuery; var doc = '

Universe!

', hello = $('#hello', doc).html(); console.log('Hello ' + hello); // Hello Universe! ``` See tests for other use cases. ## Using other versions of jQuery Inspired by other jQuery node implementions, but has a version switch tool. Clone or add as submodule to your project. Then from within `jq` directory get dev dependancies: $ npm install And then use `build` command to switch to a version of your choice: $ ./bin/jq build 1.6.4 Will accept any version that is listed as tag at [github.com/jquery/jquery](http://github.com/jquery/jquery). ## Tests Tests require [expresso](https://github.com/visionmedia/expresso). $ expresso ## Another one? This tool is based on the awesome [coolaj86/node-jquery](https://github.com/coolaj86/node-jquery) but with a different build system. Needed a little more control over versioning with some upcoming projects.
