How to load external js script from URL in Node.js

Question

I have a node.js server running on a VPS and I want to use a js script that is served from another server, something like:

http://example.com/api/js

How do I load this script and use it in my node.js file?

Thanks!

Maybe download the script and then copy paste it into your file? Otherwise check this stackoverflow.com/questions/4481058/… — theodore hogberg

exec('wget http://example.com/api/js', function(stdout) { }); should do the trick. If you need advanced control, use http module.
