loading clientlib for dialog

[Shaheena_Sheikh]

I have a clientlib with 3-4 js files in it in a component. I wanted 1 of those JS files to load for my dialog. I cant use extraClientlibs because that way all the JS will load for my dialog, whereas I specifically want only 1 particular file to load for my dialog. Is there a way to do this?

Add the specific file with path in dialog clientlib js.txt

@Shaheena_Sheikh ,

You can create a new clientlib and include that specific JS file in this new clientlib.

This new clientlib can be loaded while editing component through dialog and you can provide a category name for this clientlib as "cq.authoring.dialog".

If you want to be more specific while loading the js file for dialog validation. Please refer to below link for the same.

Create a new Client Library Folder with required Js file and add it to your dialog via extraClientlibs property.

I agree with @Bhuwan_B  and @Rohit_Utreja , your best bet here is to create a clientLib specific for your component dialog including those JS which you need and then loading it to the dialog via extraClientLibs .

Thanks
