Plugin with CDN hosted script

Nicolas

Hi guys, what will you recommend for the plugin, that should be implemented with a widget, but should use client JS that is hosted on CDN?

Julian Lam

Asynchronous loading of the js file (script injection)?

Nicolas

@julian yes. For example Google with their Chromecast, asks for using link from CDN, etc.

Julian Lam

Yeah, I'd probably have the widget load js if the library it wants to use isn't found...

var scriptEl = document.createElement('script');
scriptEl.src = 'http://...';
scriptEl.type = 'text/javascript';

// then do some magic to append it to <head>

Nicolas

@julian What do you think about an idea to extend .json configuration for plugins, to have something related to external scripts (scripts.external = [])?

Also will minifier use external js? So every reboot of forum will give latest version to the user.
