Calling functions from external JS script into the JS script that is executed in capserjs

[Ryan Sullivan]

Hi,

Is there a way to call functions from an external JS script into the main JS script that is executed in casperJS?

For example, let's say I have an external script called 'external.js':

function myresult() {
    return 'my result';
}

How would I include 'external.js' in my caperjs script so that I can call on the myresult function?

Thanks,
Ryan

You should write a module eg:

exports.myresult = function() {
return 'my result';
}

put this file in lib/mymodule.js and in casper you'll be able to
import it like this:

var mymodule = require('./lib/mymodule');
mymodule.myresult();

You can still alternatively use standard phantomjs' injectJs() of course:

phantom.injectJs('any/script/of/yours.js');

Cheers,
