how to include external javascript in react

In an html page you can include a javascript file by <script src="path"></script> How do you get variables from an external path like this in react, if the path is, for example: <script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/flux-sdk-helpers.min.js"></script>

Thanks for all your help

if you are using react, then you probably should also learn about webpack.

if you will use webpack, then you can import { method} from "package" most scripts you got from NPM (node package manager) very easily.

you can link it in your index.html file just be careful about what you call things when you are doing it as to not re use names in different places

Scripts loaded in that fashion normally install themselves as global variables and/or properties of some other global library.

According to the docs, flux-sdk-helpers installs itself as a global variable FluxHelpers when you install it this way.

This means your React code can access it as either FluxHelpers or window.FluxHelpers.
