Load one or multiple JavaScript files from the server using a GET HTTP request, then execute them..

Installation

This package is available through Bower. From the command-line, run:

bower install jquery.getscripts

Include script after the jQuery library (unless you are packaging scripts somehow else):

<script src="/path/to/jquery.getscripts.js"></script>

Do not include the script directly from GitHub (http://raw.github.com/...). The file is being served as text/plain and as such being blocked in Internet Explorer on Windows 7 for instance (because of the wrong MIME type). Bottom line: GitHub is not a CDN.

The plugin can also be loaded as AMD or CommonJS module.

Usage

<script>
$.getScripts({
  urls: ['/path/to/one.js', 'path/to/two.js'],
  cache: true,  // Default
  async: false, // Default
  success: function(response) {
    // Files have loaded
  }
});
</script>
