How do you import 3rd party libraries using hyperlink instead of local file?

[pjbiocco]

Hello, I am looking to get Graph.JS working within my Thingworx environment so I can have a bit more customization options with graph settings. 

I've reviewed documentation here saying this is how third party javascript should be embedded into a custom widget.

Following a similar structure, I attempted to import 3rd party code via https://cdnjs.com/libraries/Chart.js by adding the following into my widget, that way I don't have to download the files. However, this seems not to work. Is it required to download the 3rd party files to get them into a 3rd party widget? If not, how do I use these hyperlink-style imports that might be commonly used, for example this Jquery link:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

Hello! I know that this post it`s a long time freezed, but i`m trying to use JQuery too.

Did you solve this problem? Found some solution to use a 3rd party library inside JS code in a Thing?

Thank you.

Hi @FabioValente 

You can develop thingworx custom widget to include 3rd party libraries.

Please refer below link - Creating Customized ThingWorx Widgets (ptc.com)

I had found the second link, but I didn't understand it. Now it made sense.

Thank you very much!
