Manually activating MinnoJS

Elad Zlotnick — Published on December 17, 2019

The standard way to activate MinnoJS is by having a dedicated element at page load that has the script URL built in. It can look for example like so:

<div minno-app pi-manager="/path/to/my/script.js"></div>

But this isn’t always enough. In particular, sometimes we want to integrate MinnoJS into an existing webpage. Sometimes we want to dynamically choose which scripts to load. For that purpose we can manually load MinnoJS.

In order to do this, we need to load MinnoJS (both the js and the css), and then activate it with the window.minnoJS function.

<!doctype html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
    <meta charset=utf-8>
    <!-- Get css -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/minnojs/minno-quest@0.3/dist/main.css" />
</head>
<body>
    <div id="minno-element"></div>
    <!-- Get js -->
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/minnojs/minno-quest@0.3/dist/pi-minno.js"></script>
    <!-- Activate minnoJS -->
    <script>
        var el = document.getElementById('minno-element');
        minnoJS(el, 'path/to/my/script.js');
    </script>
</body>
</html>
