Pure HTML Example
I’m trying to do something as simple as the following html code:
Just to explain, the MyExtVar
is generated by the external script url which uses the window.MyExtApiKey
variable. When you click the button, it runs. Simple as that.
Magento 2 simple test
Just for testing purpose, I know this is not the right way of dealing with JS, I just want to test so I’ve added a block via a module in view/frontend/layout/checkout_index_index.xml
< ?xml version="1.0"?>
And then, in my view/frontend/templates/init.phtml
I use the exact same code as the HTML example :
BUT, when I click the button I get a MyExtVar is not defined
error.
Note that the external JS is properly loaded, I can see it from the Network tab in the console.
So two questions:
- First, why is that behaving differently that the pure HTML example?
- Second, how can I fix that ?
