Can we add external javascript file to custom visual?

dhavalu — Thu, 26 May 2016 05:54:40 GMT

Hello,

Can we add external javascript file to custom visual?

If yes can anyone point me at some code or link.

I have tried few things like $.getScript(), reference path but no luck.

Thanks.

I won't say no but I would be fairly surprised if this was allowed for security concerns alone.

Take a look at the QuillWrapper in the textbox visual, it loads javascript dynamically.

You can refer to a CDN or self hosted (needs to be https)

@vincent_1234 hello, sorry for jumping on someone elses thread. When you say "textbox visual", do you mean the basic textbox which is available in the ribbon bar. Or are you referring to a Custom Visual? Im trying to embed a short java script to recall a map from an external https website.

Thanks!

I was able to use getScript to grab the leaflet library for a mapping visual

             $.getScript("https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/leaflet/0.7.3/leaflet.js", function (data, textStatus, jqxhr) {
//do stuff
}

You are going to want to leverage it in your custom visual code. Documentation on how to get started can be found here: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals
