How to load external js script from URL in Node.js

Question

I have a node.js server running on a VPS and I want to use a js script that is served from another server, something like:

http://example.com/api/js
<         


        

Answer 1

exec('wget http://example.com/api/js', function(stdout) { }); should do the trick. If you need advanced control, use http module

Answer 2

Use GGScript.

const GGScript = require("ggscript")
GGScript("http://example.com/api/js").then(() => {
    console.log("Finished loading file.")
})
