CDN JS-lib Inclusion? #5

Closed joemccann closed 9 years ago

joemccann commented 9 years ago

Not technically an issue or bug, but am curious as to how I can include a CDN-hosted version of jQuery (or anything for that matter) in the gulp file to include in the <head> the CDN-hosted version of jQuery when I run the deploy gulp configuration?

This is a rock solid boilerplate, btw.

Hi @joemccann!

That is a good question! I searched around a bit and found this one:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/browserify-global-shim

I suppose you could just use that configuration when creating your distributed build. And in your html file just insert jquery CDN at the top manually or using some other build process :-)

did that answer the question?

thanks for the feedback btw!

yes it does. I just added it to the index.html in the dist directory and all is well. Just wondered if there was a cleaner step than manually adding it.

I often use the FS module, writeFile, readFile etc. to create custom HTML. Like:

<html>
  <head>
    {{CDN_SCRIPTS}}
  </head>
<body>

</body>

Then I read the file, just use replace to update the placeholders, and then write it again. So I would suggest coding something like that into the workflow. Hope that made sense :-)
