Getting started

The easiest way to try out FicusJS script loader is using a simple example.

Create an index.html file and copy the following between the <body> tags.

<div id="content"></div>

<script type="module">
import { loadScript } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@ficusjs/script@2'
const markdownToRender = `# FicusJS script loader

Dynamically load ES modules and ES5 scripts.

- Lazy load ES5 scripts
- Dynamically load based on path
- Functional programming patterns
- Small footprint (1.3 KB gzipped for everything!)

`

// load the ES module for marked
loadScript('https://unpkg.com/marked@1.2.0/lib/marked.esm.js')
  .then(mod => mod.default)
  .then(marked => {
    const content = document.getElementById('content')
    content.innerHTML = marked(markdownToRender)
  })
</script>

Alternatively, fork this Codepen to see it in action - https://codepen.io/ducksoupdev/pen/abZbdbq

The example imports the marked ES module and converts some markdown to HTML.
