[WebView] Is it possible to load local js file in WebView html prop?

See original GitHub issue

For Example, I put a web/jquery.js file in bundle, then I would like to use:

var html=`
<html>
<script src="web/jquery.js"></script>
...`;

then use WebView to set html prop to html.

I tried to set src to jquery in CDN, it works fine. but don’t work with above code.

Is it because currently local js in WebView not be supported? Or I miss something at here?

If I package my app and view it on an iOS device, the asset files are not there. The only file, that is there, is the html file used by the WebView (and required). How can I make sure, the packager copies the *.js and *.css files to the asset directory?

@bright-sea - the second option I proposed would help:

<WebView baseURL="/web" html={html} />

By setting the baseURL, like in the example I linked to on StackOverflow, the WebView knows where to look for the css/js that you link to 😄

The html var I’m using there is just the same as what you used in your original post.
