I\'m trying to do something like a C #include \"filename.c\", or PHP include(dirname(__FILE__).\"filename.php\") but in javascript. I know I can do
The accepted answer here does not work if you have inline scripts in your document. To avoid this you can use the following to only target tags with a [src] attribute.
/**
* Current Script Path
*
* Get the dir path to the currently executing script file
* which is always the last one in the scripts array with
* an [src] attr
*/
var currentScriptPath = function () {
var scripts = document.querySelectorAll( 'script[src]' );
var currentScript = scripts[ scripts.length - 1 ].src;
var currentScriptChunks = currentScript.split( '/' );
var currentScriptFile = currentScriptChunks[ currentScriptChunks.length - 1 ];
return currentScript.replace( currentScriptFile, '' );
}
This effectively captures the last external .js file, solving some issues I encountered with inline JS templates.
