[TW5] How to integrate a 3rd party JS library?

[sb56637]

Hi folks,

I would like to use TW5 as a todo/reminder system. But the problem is that I need some specific functionality like a popup calendar and a way to make it calculate recurring due dates. I'm not much of a coder, I can just hack and copy/paste pre-existing code. I can find JS libs that provide the functionality I need (http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/calendarpopup/simple.html and https://github.com/mattgrayson/recurring-date) but I'm not really sure if it's feasible to integrate this stuff into TW5 as a plugin?

Thanks for the help!

Is there some documentation to this library, except the source?

This library uses jquery, which imo isn't a good fit for TW, since TW uses a completely different approach.

Hmm not as far as I know. I guess there's a lot of alternatives for this one (popup JS calendars), but in general is it feasible to import external JS libraries and integrate them into TW?

Ah, I didn't notice that. I'll keep looking to see if I can find another one.
