Including an external js file inside a js web resource

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

Basically I want create a javascript file which contains some public functions and can be shared by my different javascript web resource. The problem is that js file is not like html file that you can have include file where you can refer an external javascript file. For example, I create a js file called myPublicJsLib.js and I want my other javascript web resource can use the functions defined in myPublicJsLib.js. How I can do this?

Thanks,

Lan

    As it relates to CRM, you would link your myPublicJsLib.js webresource to the form and put it before (move up to the top) any other JavaScript webresource that referenced it on the same form.


    If I've misunderstood, and you instead need to download the webresource in code then you could use this function

        this.DownloadWebResource = function (webResourceName, isSynchronousCall, callBackFunction) {
        webResourceName = "../WebResources/" + webResourceName;
        if (typeof ($) == "undefined")
            throw "jquery is required to use the DownloadWebResource function";
        else {
            $.ajax({
                url: webResourceName,
                async: !isSynchronousCall,
                success: function (data) {
                    if (isSynchronousCall)
                        return data;
                    else
                        callBackFunction(data);
                },
                error: function (XmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    throw errorThrown;
                }
            });
        }
    }

    Hi,

    Yes, you are right, once I add this public JS file on the form, then I can refer the js function in the public JS file. But again, I am wondering if I can bypass this so I don't have to add this public JS file on each form.

    Thanks,

    Lan

    If you want to bypass then use the function I provided in my first response.  Just make sure you run that function first before any other function.
