Can I get a jQuery Deferred on document.ready()?
You can associate a deferred object with the document using data(), and resolve() it in your ready handler. This way, you should be able to use the stored deferred object with $.when():
$(document).data("readyDeferred", $.Deferred()).ready(function() { $(document).data("readyDeferred").resolve();});$.when($.ajax("translations"), $(document).data("readyDeferred")) .then(function() { // Start doing stuff here.});
Here's a cleaned up version of ircmaxell's comment:
(function() { var doc_ready = $.Deferred(); $(doc_ready.resolve); $.when(doc_ready, $.ajax('translations')).then(function() { console.log("done"); });})();edit
Some clarification to stop the incorrect edits:
Passing a function to the jquery object (e.g. $(some_func)) is the same as $(document).ready(some_func).
Therefore, the $(doc_ready.resolve); line is just shorthand for something like this:
$(document).ready(function() { doc_ready.resolve()});
Try this:
$.when($.ajax('translations'), $.ready).then(function() { // Start doing stuff here});
