How can I add external JS file in Angular CLI component, specific to the component only?

I have components Home and About in Angular CLI app. I have included the javascript file required for both components in angular.json. But I want to add component-specific javascript files in the component. Say, I want to add home.js to the Home component. Is there any way possible?

I have tried adding script into DOM using this LINK, However, I want to add external js files instead.

Solution

  • You can try

    import * as test from 'test.js';

export class HomeComponent {
    ngOnInit() {
       test.testFunction(); //testFunction is in home.js
   }
}

// test.js
export function testFunction() {
    console.log('hello world');
}
