current root path predefined variable

[cordovapolymer]

It would be great to have a predefined variable with current application root path, so it can be used for loading assets with javascript, like cordova plugin file does. This https://github.com/nordnet/cordova-hot-code-push/pull/170 pull request introduces a method to get current version name, it would be nice if you could extend it.

Here is the solution which I'm currently using:

          function absScriptLoc(filename) {
            var scriptElements = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
            for (var i = 0; i < scriptElements.length; i++) {
              var source = scriptElements[i].src;
              if (source.indexOf(filename) > -1) {
                var location = source.substring(0, source.indexOf(filename)) + filename;
                return location;
              }
            }
            return false;
          }
          var myAbsScriptLoc = absScriptLoc('chcp.js');
          var myAbsRootPath = myAbsScriptLoc.replace("plugins/cordova-hot-code-push-plugin/www/chcp.js", "");  ```

Thanks for the suggestion! Have you tried to load assets by relative path instead of full path? Also, if assets are not in manifest - I think you can load them from the bundled assets.

yes, I tried everything!

They are in manifest as I'm currently updating whole app with chcp. I think I will use your suggestion to bundle most of the assets in future, to save space, thanks.
