Adding custom javascript with custom theme in 10.3

Hello,
For OC10.3, I’ve successfully created and am using a custom theme within the /apps folder. I can override CSS by using the /apps/my-theme/core/css/styles.css file to write my custom styles.

However, im having an issue figuring out how to add my own custom javascript, that doesnt override any existing core/marketplace apps javascripts, but rather run the custom scripts in addition to existing js files.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Is there a specific file name i need to name my js file such that it can be included on all pages (user/public)?

Thanks for all that you do here.

You can include a script via your defaults.php file.

Please add the following:

	public function __construct() {
		// JS file
		\OCP\Util::addScript('your-theme', 'scriptname');
	}

and

	public static function getThemePath() {
		return __DIR__;
	}

Your JS file has to be in a folder called js in the root folder of your theme. Please note that the scriptname in the upper part is only the filename (without file extension).

Thank you! This works perfectly. This should be documented.
