Dynamically load script

Based on https://docs.plasmo.com/quickstarts/with-google-analytics , I should be able to load https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/place-search#maps_place_search-typescript as well I tied to do it in a CSUI Svelte component:

<script lang="ts">
  import "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=$PLASMO_PUBLIC_API_KEY&libraries=places";

  console.log(google); // google is undefined
</script>

<script lang="ts">
  import "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=$PLASMO_PUBLIC_API_KEY&libraries=places";

  console.log(google); // google is undefined
</script>

@lab Sorry for the ping, any idea how to solve it?

lab•7mo ago

Check if the map js lib is cached in the .plasmo directory but otherwise it's up to the host if it want to return the js lib as a file tbh and whether the script would even let itself load you might want to take a look at the bundle and see what's inside

@lab has reached level 52. GG!

lab•7mo ago

you might find occasionally they have some logic inside that would prevent it to actually load

AviOP•7mo ago

seems not :\

lab•7mo ago

lol yeah if that's the case it's prob not possible that feature basically download whatever js is in that URL and try to embed it in the bundle

AviOP•7mo ago

Yeah I know I guess I need to try to bundle it manually

AviOP•7mo ago

nevermind, it's probably impossible to load it as it loads remote scripts

@lab Could a sandbox page help me out? https://docs.plasmo.com/framework/sandbox-pages

The thought process is to run the remotely hosted script in a sandbox page and then embed it in a CSUI with an iframe I just tried sandbox.svelte

<input type="text">

<input type="text">

apparently Parcel prints out the text as-is in <pre> :thinkingHD: Wait, now I noticed that no matter if I put sandbox.svelte or sandbox.html, it's not even registered in the manifest

@lab Assuming that https://github.com/PlasmoHQ/plasmo-test/blob/main/rfc%2Frfc-263-sandbox-pages%2Fsandboxes%2Ftest.tsx results In adding "sandbox" entry to the manifest, the issue is that Plasmo doesn't take care of sandbox.svelte/sandbox.html

According to my testing, that's indeed the issue As soon as I added React dependencies and sandbox.tsx, it began to work

lab•7mo ago

Hm m interesting, I guess it only deal with sandbox.tsx xd check this codepath:

RIP yeah it only deal with .tsx atm lol wanna make a PR to add svelte/vue etc?

AviOP•7mo ago

How hard will it be for me to add Svelte?

lab•7mo ago

Prob adding just that .svelte name to the list will work lol

AviOP•7mo ago

huh, maybe using sandbox is not the right route whatsoever https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1111998

Hopefully that works 🤞 https://github.com/PlasmoHQ/plasmo/pull/977
