External lib like domain.com/lib.js

[dimyy]

How to use an external library like https://domain.com/lib.js. In version 7, a jsLibs description of "path": "//domain.com/lib.js", was available. Doesn't work in version 8. It might make sense to change https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/b...loader.js#L902 to

const urlObj = new URL(url, this._baseUrl);

I recommend to find some other way. As it's the very core of the frontend, I'm reluctant to make any changes there unless necessary. I did not plan to have the ability to use external scripts via the loader.

For future use, it may be useful:

loadScript: function(src) {
            return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
                const s = document.createElement('script');
                let r = false;
                s.type = 'text/javascript';
                s.src = src;
                s.async = true;
                s.onerror = function(err) {
                    reject(err, s);
                };
                s.onload = s.onreadystatechange = function() {
                    // console.log(this.readyState); // uncomment this line to see which ready states are called.
                    if (!r && (!this.readyState || this.readyState == 'complete')) {
                        r = true;
                        resolve();
                    }
                };
                const t = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
                t.parentElement.insertBefore(s, t);
            });
        },

setup: function (){
            Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);

            this.wait(
                this.loadScript('//domain.com/lib.js')
            );
