# load-script

Dynamic script loading.

## Installation

via component

```

$ component install eldargab/load-script

```

via npm

```

$ npm install load-script

```

## API

`load-script` appends a `script` node to the `` element in the dom.

`require('load-script')` returns a function of the following interface:  `function(url[, opts][, cb]) {}`

### url

Any url that you would like to load.  May be absolute or relative.

### [, opts]

A map of options.  Here are the currently supported options:

* `async` - A boolean value used for `script.async`.  By default this is `true`.

* `attrs` - A map of attributes to set on the `script` node before appending it to the DOM.  By default this is empty.

* `charset` - A string value used for `script.charset`.  By default this is `utf8`.

* `text` - A string of text to append to the `script` node before it is appended to the DOM.  By default this is empty.

* `type` - A string used for `script.type`.  By default this is `text/javascript`.

### [, cb]

A callback function of the following interface: `function(err, script) {}` where `err` is an error if any occurred and `script` is the `script` node that was appended to the DOM.

## Example Usage

```javascript

var load = require('load-script')

load('foo.js', function (err, script) {

  if (err) {

    // print useful message

  }

  else {

    console.log(script.src);// Prints 'foo'.js'

    // use script

    // note that in IE8 and below loading error wouldn't be reported

  }

})

```
