Guidance on using Sigil
 

Hi,

Really interested to get a depth information regarding on using Sigil especially on how to integrate Javascript...

Thank you.

Sigil supports JavaScript, including local storage, but doesn't come with any special JavaScript tools, except for the Preview window, which allows you to run JavaScript.

What do you want to use JavaScript for?

Actually, I tried to use the Javascript coding from codepen.io example as my learning process to explore Sigil. However, the script did not work as in codepen. I also would like to know whether React.js can be incorporating in Sigil?

I did Javascript in external file (Misc folder) and put the name of the script file in the src (source) attribute of a <script> tag:

<script src="/Misc/myScript.js"></script>

However, it did not work..

Thank you.

I haven't tested this, but in theory, all JavaScript frameworks without external dependencies should work.

Depending on the code, you might have to explicitly reference JavaScript code with onload. For example:

Here are two very simple sample epubs with JavaScript created with Sigil:

Epub1
Epub2

However, before you spend more time on this, you might want to consider the fact that only a handful of epub3 apps actually support JavaScript.

Unless you've modified the structure of your epub to have the Misc folder at the root of the archive, I wouldn't expect the src path you specified to work.

I would think you'd need to provide a src path that is relative to the location of the html file the script tag is a part of.
