Hi,
A little confused around how to properly work with external libraries. I heard
the news about the CLJSJS stuff and have the aim of making a package out of a
very simple js-lib: https://github.com/t4t5/sweetalert
A few questions have surged:
1. What is the preferred way to include an external js-lib?
I used foreign-lib but I guess a CDN or similar could be used as well.
2. Can/Should the library be munged by Advanced optimizations?
I successfully included the library with foreign-libs and defined a namespace
for it. But when I look in the with advanced mode generated js the library is
included in full text, no optimizations done whatsoever.
3. Should I modify the library to have its own namespace?
It currently uses
;(function(window, document, undefined) {
... code ...
})(window, document);
so not every function is attached to the global namespace but the return
function: sweetAlert() is. Should I somehow make this its own namespace and
would anyone suggest how it should be done?
4. If I should make its own namespace, would I then need an externs file?
Since the function sweetAlert is added directly to the global namespace it can
successfully be reached by using js/sweetAlert since this does not seem to be
modified by the closure optimizer. But I guess this would change if I had to
refer it from a namespace like sweet-alert/alert or something.
