How to use inline JavaScript inside HTML files?

I would like to use JavaScript tags inside HTML files in Electron.

I know I can use code like this in main.js:

webPreferences: { preload: path.join(__dirname, "preload.js"), },

And then import this script in HTML files like this:

<script>alert("This works!")</script>

But why can't I just use JavaScript like this inside HTML files:

alert("Why won't this work?");

There is a default meta tag in HTML when I follow Electron's quick start guide: <meta http-equiv="X-Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'" />

And this I guess disables executing inline JavaScript.

So my question is, is it bad practice to use inline JavaScript like this in Electron? Should this be avoided?

yes you can use javascript inside HTML files by using the script tag .

<script>
     //code goes here
</script>

now coming to use of inline javascript its not a good practice if you are creating a project because then it will be hard to maintain if you start working with multiple files.
