I am new to After Effects scripting but have much experience with JavaScript in the browser.
use:
#include "includeme.jsx"
EDIT 2:
You can also include files using the following syntax:
//@include "includeme.jsx"
Which (IMHO) is the better way. It wont break a linter and is more javascript-ish.
You can use plain old javascript (ES3 Syntax). If the libraries you include use some browser specific js (like console.log()
) you will get an error
Best resource is the AECS6 scripting guide. There are also lots of open source scripts on http://aescripts.com that you can examine
EDIT 1: You can also include a file like this.
var path = ((File($.fileName)).path); // this is the path of the script
// now build a path to another js file
// e.g. json lib https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js
var libfile = File(path +'/_libs/json2.js');
if(libfile.exists){
$.evalFile(libfile);
}
