Control Addin `type="module"` script support #7802

Closed Hugos68 closed 3 months ago

Hugos68 commented 3 months ago

I'm building a Control Addin and wanted to use a few libraries, most of the modern libraries are esm which means they use import and export syntax. Even though browsers support this widely (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules), there is no way to specify this with control addins. They are always type="text/javascript" which means they will be treated as CommonJS modules. This really hurts the amount of libraries you can use and makes pretty much working with Control Addin scripts a big painpoint. I would love it if you could somehow specify within the control addin what type of script you're including. This would solve a lot of the problems I'm having with control addins.
