Hi, I’d like to ask what is recommended way to ship javascript library with some plugin? I can load it asynchronously from external url using e.g. Em.$.getScript('https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/......min.js').done(function() { ... } But I’d prefer storing library locally. Normally I’d use…

Also a small tip, in programming things always seem hard when you feel like you don’t know …

Thank you, that’s very helpful! Putting my library in the assets/lib folder is helping a lot. Now that I have the correct path to it, the library is misbehaving. :man_facepalming: It’s a large library with lots of submodules - argdown.js requires ArgdownApplication.js and a bunch of others. When it…

I recommend you go with the fully packaged solution.
