Hammerspoon: Load javascript file from local file://, instead of local web server

[markwu]

Hi:

It that possible to load javascript from local storage like <script src="file://abc/def/ghi/jkl.js"></script> instead of local web server inside hs.webview:html?

I already read the documents and search all issues about local files webview before asking.

I try to figure it out, but no lucks. :(

You definitely can... I use Resty to make templating easier:

@latenitefilms Thanks, would you mind give me more detail examples about how to include javascript from local directory through resty template?

Take @asmagill's configuration for example, what's the difference if I generate the HTML string directly or compiled through the resty template engine?

Sorry, I’m on the road, so just quickly replying on my phone. Here’s how we’re using it:

In @asmagill’s example he’s firing up a web server via Hammerspoon and accessing the JS file through that via the webview.

See https://github.com/asmagill/hammerspoon-config/issues/5 for my solution to get around requiring a local web server

@asmagill Thanks for your help, I already follow your method and use the javascript from local directory through webview.usercontent.

@latenitefilms Thanks for help, I am still reading your code, and try to figure how you solve issue. through resty template engine.

I'll close this issue, and thanks for all of your help!
