Override WooCommerce Frontend Javascript

Question

Can someone guide me as to what is the proper method of overriding WooCommerce core Javascript files, specifically frontend files. I have not found any documentation on this and looking at the code, the path to the frontend script files is hard coded in the plugin so I doubt that placing an assets folder in my theme will do anything.

What is the cleanest way to to this so that I can load a file located in my theme dir?

Thanks

I had the same problem except with add-to-cart.js. Simple solution is to DEQUEUE the woocommerce script and ENQUEUE your replacement. In my case I added the following to my functions.php:

wp_dequeue_script('wc-add-to-cart');
wp_enqueue_script( 'wc-add-to-cart', get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ). '/js/add-to-cart-multi.js' , array( 'jquery' ), false, true );

You would want to DEQUEUE the 'wc-add-to-cart-variation' script. I don't think you have to ENQUEUE with the same name, but I couldn't see a reason not to.

Hope this helps.

If you're using WordPress Version 4.0.1 and WooCommerce Version 2.2.10. You can use the following scripts:

wp_deregister_script('wc-add-to-cart');
wp_register_script('wc-add-to-cart', get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ). '/js/add-to-cart-multi.js' , array( 'jquery' ), WC_VERSION, TRUE);
wp_enqueue_script('wc-add-to-cart');
