Importing a frontend Javascript library without a build system
22-Nov-2024 47
I like writing Javascript without a build system and for the millionth time yesterday I ran into a problem where I needed to figure out how to import a Javascript library in my code without using a build system, and it took FOREVER to figure out how to import it because the library’s setup instructions assume that you’re using a build system.
Luckily at this point I’ve mostly learned how to navigate this situation and either successfully use the library or decide it’s too difficult and switch to a different library, so here’s the guide I wish I had to importing Javascript libraries years ago.
I’m only going to talk about using Javacript libraries on the frontend, and only about how to use them in a no-build-system setup.
