Yii2: registerJs() implicitly includes JqueryAsset, how to avoid

In Yii2 there is a $this->registerJs() method available in views for registering inline JS. I use it as described in documentation:

$js = "...prepare js code...";
$this->registerJs($js, View::POS_READY);

The problem is that with View::POS_READY (which is the default for second argument) registerJs() implicitly requires yii\web\JqueryAsset (source code).

But I already included Jquery in my own asset bundle - it is all-min.js, there are Jquery + plugins minified and concatenated in a single file. Yii2 includes JqueryAsset, therefore duplicating Jquery on a resulting page.

How do I tell Yii2 that Jquery is already included or avoid this duplication in some other way?

Solution

You can easily customize jquery asset bundle by configuring assetManager in the application components configuration (usually config/web.php).

You can disable one or multiple asset bundles by associating false with the names of the asset bundles that you want to disable :

    'assetManager' => [
        'bundles' => [
            'yii\web\JqueryAsset' => false,
        ],
    ],
