Readme
This utility function allows us to use a standardized method of loading remote scripts and injecting them into the <head>
of our document to bring external functionality into the app.
import { loadScript, loadjQueryDependentScript } from '@automattic/load-script';
loadScript( REMOTE_SCRIPT_URL, function( error ) {
if ( error ) {
debug( 'Script ' + error.src + ' failed to load.' );
return;
}
debug( 'Script loaded!' );
} );
// if we need jQuery, this function will load it (if it's not loaded already)
loadjQueryDependentScript( REMOTE_SCRIPT_URL, function( error ) {
if ( error ) {
debug( 'Script ' + error.src + ' failed to load.' );
return;
}
debug( 'Script and jQuery are loaded!' );
} );
The callback should expect a single argument, which will be null
on success or an object on failure. The object contains the src
property, which will contain the src url of the script that failed to load.
