Custom Javascript to act on generated DOM

[dugjohnson]

I want to use jQuery to rewrite the href of a URL cell. I know how to write that code.
I would like to be able to do it so that I don't have rebuild every time there is an upgrade.
How do I include the external file? Where do I put it all?
Can this be done?

It depends where you want to rewrite. If it's a field it can be easily achieved by defining a custom view in entityDefs. You just define custom view for a needed field.

"view": "Custom:MyEntity.Fields.MyField"

client/custom/src/views/my-entity/fields/my-field.js

Espo.define('custom:views/my-entity/fields/my-field', 'views/fields/url', function (Dep) {
  
  return Dep.extend({
      afterRender: function () {
             Dep.prototype.afterRender.call(this);
             // HERE WRITE YOUR LOGIC
             this.$el.find('a').attr('href', 'your_new_url');
            //
     },
  });

}); 

views/fields/url is an inherited class.
