Can a ViewComponent have it's own seperate js file?

Question

In the same way a normal cshtml file can have a js file section, doe same apply for a ViewComponent? If so are there any gotchas?

Answer 1

ViewComponents have their own cshtml files, which render out to plain HTML, so you can just include the javascript as you would in HTML, within the cshtml file:

<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log('rendered viewcomponent');
</script>
