response.files gets only called inside web2py_ajax.html, that is evaluated
only when you load the layout.html
in HTML, all static assets must be in the <head> to be sure all are loaded
when you try to execute some code.
If you need to include a js file and you're sure all the dependencies are
fullfilled (btw, it's not that easy.....if you include a plugin that
depends on jquery, you need to be sure that jquery is already loaded ....
have fun with it) you can use the usual <script src=> directive within your
.load view.
ATM there's no "facility" to "inject" just the files you need within
web2py: you should code your own loader, or use a third-party loader.
PS: you can use a model for your plugin that does response.files.append()
to be sure that all pages will have loaded all the files you want. The only
drawback is that those files will be loaded even if your "fragment" doesn't
get actually "inserted" within a LOAD() statement.
If you're not facing something that needs to load 300KB of different assets
for every different fragment, it's not as bad as it sounds. Given that
usually you enable client-side cache for all the /static/ files, they get
actually transmitted once.
