So as the WebMKS console isn't shipped OOTB and we cannot precompile assets on an already existing appliance, it cannot be included into the asset pipeline nor a webpack pack (sounds funny, you seriously say it like this?). So I think we could do the following:

// Send a HEAD request to determine if the file exists, IMO it's enough to check for the JS
fetch('/webmks/wmks.min.js', {
  method: 'HEAD'
}).then(() => new Promise((resolve, reject) => { // Create and return with a promise
  // Create a <link> tag that loads the CSS file and append it to the page
  let link = document.createElement('link');
  link.rel = 'stylesheet';
  link.type = 'text/css';
  link.href = '/webmks/css/wmks-all.css';
  document.head.appendChild(link);

  // Create a <script> tag that loads the JS file
  let script = document.createElement('script');
  script.src = '/webmks/wmks.min.js';

  script.onload = () => resolve(); // Set an onload function that resolves the promise

  document.head.appendChild(script); // Append the <script> tag to the page
})).then(() => {
  // The code is loaded, we can do stuff with WebMKS
}).catch((error) => {
  // some error handling
});

I suppose so, should work, yes :)

(EDITed from something else, I was confused about fetch vs require)

[skateman]

@himdel the fetch is just an example, I assume angular can do something similar in its own world.

@AllenBW looking at the API code I think you can just ask for WebMKS consoles the same way as you do for VNC/SPICE, just use WebMKS as the console type. You will probably need my help with setting up a provider with WebMKS support, just ping me on IRC for the details.

Is there any new about this feature?

[skateman]

@AllenBW when will you have time to take a look? Do you have any questions about how and where to start?

[AllenBW]

Heyoh pto caused the delayed response, if time is available later this week I can begin to give this some 👀 in earnest! 🤞
