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…

Thanks… In the assets folder will it be loaded automatically or do I need to take care of asynchronous load as quoted in previous post? I need to load library before running plugin code.

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.

I recommend you go with the fully packaged solution.

I asked a similar question a few days ago (Existing JS module import into ES6 plugin). The problem I have is, that I want it included server side and I have no idea on which path I should require it in ES6 modules.
