How to add libraries to the javascript scripting engine?

[weirdyang]

I understand we can implement IGlobalMethodProvider, but are we able to add libraries to the scripting engine?

Do you mean like full JS libraries? @sebastienros? This might be a good question for Jint, since that's what OC uses under the hood.

Yes, full libraries. I understand we can extend it using IGlobalMethodProviders, but that is C# code. I was wondering if it is possible to add full Javascript libraries.

@weirdyang it is not perfect, but as a workaround you can place extarnal JS lib content before your script:

_scriptingManager.Evaluate($"js:{externalLibraryString} {script}", null, null, GlobalMethodProviders);

@weirdyang another idea is to just change a bit "createScope" method and add a way to register external modules:

here I've just hardcoded two dummy modules, just to make sure it works:
