How do I include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file

Question

Is there something in JavaScript similar to @import in CSS that allows you to include a JavaScript file inside another JavaScript file?

Answer 1

Hello @kartik,

It is possible to dynamically generate a JavaScript tag and append it to HTML document from inside other JavaScript code. This will load targeted JavaScript file.

function includeJs(jsFilePath) {
    var js = document.createElement("script");

    js.type = "text/javascript";
    js.src = jsFilePath;

    document.body.appendChild(js);
}

includeJs("/path/to/some/file.js");

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
