JessieCode script files

[D. Brian Walton]

Is it possible to attach JessieCode as a script element referencing an URI instead of having the text in the script as plain text.

For example, I tried the following:

<div id="jessie-slate" class="jxgbox" style="width:540px; height:540px;"></div>
<script type="text/jessiecode" container="jessie-slate" src="script/jessie-demo.jc"></script>

The file jessie-demo.jc contains the actual script I want to work with. But I don't think the browser ever loads the file because it knows it isn't javascript.

If this is not implemented, is there another way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Following up on my earlier post. I think I have a workable solution using the fetch API. If there is a better way, I'd love to learn about it.

My solution is to include the following javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

function parseJessie(code) {

  let board = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jsxbox-name', {boundingbox: [-5, 5, 5, -5], keepaspectratio:true});

  board.jc = new JXG.JessieCode();

  board.jc.use(board);

  board.suspendUpdate();

  board.jc.parse(code);

  board.unsuspendUpdate();

}

fetch('myJessieCode.jc').then(function(response) { response.text().then( function(text) { parseJessie(text); }); });

</script>

Dear Brian,

this is a very interesting idea!

Up to now, JSXGraph parses the script tag and executes the content if the type is "text/jessiecode". In fact it does more or less what you are doning in your second post.

So, it is a good idea to look for a "src" attribute and fetch the code from there.

We will implement it soon.

Many thanks for the suggestion and the solution.

Best wishes,

Alfred
