Provides a rudimentary external asset loader for Twine. Borne of my intitial frustrations with seeing how JS / CSS had to be managed as Passages, I decided to create a little macro to alleviate some of the boilerplate and allow better segmentation of assets from content.
So simple.
-
To load a CSS file, simply add:
<<load css stylesheet.css>> -
To load a JS file, do:
<<load script main.js>>
By default, files will be loaded relative to the HTML file that you are using. It is possible to set default paths for root, scripts and styles:
<<load set root lib>>
<<load set styles /css/>>
<<load set scripts /js/>>
To use the loader, you will need to create a Twine passage to register this macro.
Simply create a new passage, give it a script tag, and copy the contents of src/loader.min.js into it.
Once that is done, you can now load all required stylesheets, scripts from a single passage in a highly readable fashion:
<<silently>>
<<load set root lib >>
<<load set styles /css/ >>
<<load set scripts /js/ >>
<<load css styles.css>>
<<load script util.js>>
<<load script main.js>>
<<endsilently>>
This will have the result of loading:
lib/css/styles.csslib/js/util.jslib/js/main.js
Typically you will want to put this at in your Start passage, but it will work in any location (this could allow you to do dynamic loading of styles, for instance).
