[web2py] Re: dependencies inside 'static' folder
Anthony, et al, with this question and the other similar one in regards to Vue it seems like we need a solid, standard way to implement client-side JavaScript libraries. Are the options pretty much: 1) routes.py and 2) relative URLs? And then where to store the library (ie, in /static or use a CDN)? How every thing works together with NPM package management? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

This is relative to the path of the current file (which is the JS file
itself), so you should put the /img folder inside the /static/js folder.

Note, URL() is a Python function that works only on the server in the
web2py environment -- you cannot insert it into a static JS file, which is
executed entirely within the browser.

If you want to keep the file in /static/img, you can still use a relative
URL:
cfg.pieceTheme = '../img/chesspieces/wikipedia/{piece}.png
';
The ../ will traverse from the /js folder up one level to the /static
folder.
