Remove jQuery dependency

[pnordahl]

What we're doing here shouldn't require a hard dependency on jQuery.

I'm working on it, will submit a PR as soon as I'm done:

Nice.

Personally, I was hesitant to do this from the start because you'd have to implement the following things on your own:

• Auto-detection of vendor prefixes
• Animation queueing

Not sure how much kb that'd take, but let's see. Nice work mparramont!

The test suite is being of great help already, good job there @rstacruz!
Will keep you updated :)

Looks to me jQuery is only used for $.extend() ??

[Mithgol]

jQuery is also used in NProgress.render, and a jQuery instance is returned from it as $progress.

You may see several jQuery methods of $progress used later, such as .find or .css.

[rahulcs]

if you closely look at the code, nprogress.js uses $.extend(), $.find(), addClass(), removeClass(), appendTo() & html() functions.

Not that hard to remove, I believe...

+1 for jQuery independence.

There is two other solutions. One is a Angular provider I made myself[1] and the other one is a vanilla Javascript solution[2]

thanks @victorbjelkholm

I've got a branch without jQuery working here. I'd be happy to submit a pull request if there hasn't been any major progress yet. The css helper should also address #17.

I just checked it out and all the tests are green for me. Great job!
