How to run a Javascript in truffle console

Question

Ok so I have written a Javascript for my web application. And I want to run it from my smart contract. Is there a way to do it?

Answer 1

There are two ways to do this.

You can include the Javascript in the smart contract as require like this:

truffle(development)> require('./yourfile.js')

or you can use exec command of truffle to do this:

truffle(development)> exec ./yourfile.js
