how to include external javascript in react

Question

In an html page you can include a javascript file by <script src="path"></script> How do you get variables from an external path like this in react, if the path is, for example: <script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/flux-sdk-helpers.min.js"></script>

Thanks for all your help

Answer 1

Scripts loaded in that fashion normally install themselves as global variables and/or properties of some other global library.

According to the docs, flux-sdk-helpers installs itself as a global variable FluxHelpers when you install it this way.

This means your React code can access it as either FluxHelpers or window.FluxHelpers.
