Inline vs. External JS Code
Avoid placing your JS inline; instead, reference it as an external file. One way to do this is to upload your code to a folder channel in your digital workplace, and then insert a reference to that file where you want your JS to run. To get this file's URL:
- Go to the file.
- Right-click Download and select Copy link address.
- (Optional) Remove the domain from the copied URL.
A reference to a JS file in your workplace would look similar to this:
<script src="/download/my_folder/helloworldjs;v1?attachment=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
