The useScript function is designed to help developers inline scripts into a web page with minimal payload. It receives a function and its arguments as parameters and returns the stringified, minified version of the function. This is particularly useful for inlining event handlers and other scripts directly into HTML, optimizing performance by reducing the amount of JavaScript sent over the network. It integrates seamlessly with the hx-on: handlers of HTMX.
Importing
import { useScript } from "apps/utils/useScript.ts";
Parameters
fn: Function
The function to be stringified and minified.
args: ...any[]
The arguments to be passed to the function when it is called.
Return Value
string
A stringified, minified version of the function, ready to be inlined into HTML.
Usage Examples
Example 1: Inline Script with dangerouslySetInnerHTML
In this example, useScript is used to inline a simple script that logs a message when the window loads.
Ensure that the function you pass to useScript does not rely on external variables or closures that won't be available when the script is executed inline.
When using with hx-on: handlers, make sure the minified function does not exceed any attribute length limits that might be imposed by browsers or HTML specifications.
