Adding a Javascript Library

[Haad Khan]

I am new to web2py and I was wondering how to add a javascript library. Do we add it to view. And how to import it into html. Using the same code <script src=> and what do we even place src=.

I wanted to basically visualize a graph and was planning to use Arbor.js. Also if you know of some better javascript plotting library do mention it. Thanks

You simply place the file under the application/yourapp/static/js/ folder and you import it from the html.

You can import in the layout.html with <script src="{{=URL('static','js/myfile.js')}}"></script> or you can import it from the python code (model or controller) with

response.files.append(URL('static','js/myfile.js'))

This will generate the <script>...</script> for you.
