    JavaScript libraries only in master.cshtml

    Hi everyone

    I noticed that a JS-Library didn't work, when I put it directly in a template of a documenttype which is rendered somewhere in <body>. I know it is better to put it in the <head> or just before the closing , but sometimes it was the best to put a script like the following just beside it, where it's needed.

    <script src="lightgallery.js"></script>

<script>$("#lightgallery").lightGallery();</script>

<div id="lightgallery">
...
</div>

    In Umbraco 8 it worked very well. Now with Umbraco 9 I had to put `

    <script src="lightgallery.js"></script>

    ` into the master.cshtml and had to make an if-statement that it doesn't load on every page.

    Is that really the only way to make it work?

    Thanks

    if thes are view templates, you could define a secion in your master template which you then use in your view templates to add extra scripts.

    Example, in master template

        @await RenderSectionAsync("ExtraScripts", false)
</body>

    Then in your View template you can do the following

    @section ExtraScripts
{
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/vantage.ecommerce.cart.js"></script>    
}

    So now when your view loads, it's js include will get rendered correctly.

    Note, this only works in a View, it will not work for partial views. If you need to include js in a partial view then you can create an extension to do so.
