Third-party scripts (Feature)
It would be nice to have a feature in compact that lets you reference third party scripts.. e.g jQuery on Google's CDN, Google Maps API, various share widgets (Twitter, +1, Facebook).
e.g:
compact.addNamespace('find-us')
.addThirdPartyJs('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true')
.addJs('/js/my-map.js');
Output:
<script src='http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true'></script>
<script src="/js/compact/find-us.js"></script>
Similar functionality is easily achievable with Jade template inheritance, but I think it would be better if all of the frontend JS was organised in one place. What do you think?
I think that addJs could be extended to take urls to compress.
But I'm a not sure about of making compact a javascript loader. Either I need to change the name to a synonym of 'Load' or we create another module that extends compress and but helps manage all your JavaScript.
jsLoader.addRemoteNamespace('map')
.addJs('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true', { failoverToLocal: true })
jsLoader.addNamespace('find-us')
.addJs('/js/my-map.js');
