To load external scripts from a CDN, a good option is to use the react-async-script-loader library. Not only can it load external JS files asynchronously, but it also loads on demand, i.e., lazy loading and supports both parallel and sequential loading.

It allows you to decorate your component using an HOC like so:

export default scriptLoader(
  [
    'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/somelibrary1.min.js',
    'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/somelibrary2.min.js'
  ]
