Load underscore.js/lodash.js as extension to simplify custom javascript extension development

Hi, is that possible? Do we have simply to copy lodash code into an extension and set the scope as pre-loader? Thanks, Alessandro

Hi Alessandro, yes you can do that. The IE8-compatibility build at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lodash/lodash/2.4.1/dist/lodash.compat.min.js is about 30Kb so that's not excessive. As you say, you can just copy and paste the whole thing into a preloader extension.

Hi Fiann, i tried to include lodash (precisely that one you linked) in a preloader extension, but i get an error on tealium loading: "Unexpected string" http://i.imgur.com/XoNcUht.png The error has no stack trace and it's pretty undebuggable because not event chrome can format utag.js, but i've verified that the same code (copy/pasted) it's executed well in the chrome console. What can I do to tackle the problem? Have you ever seen a similar error? In case of need I can activate to DEV the extension quicky. Thanks, Alessandro
