Dynamically loading a remote Cell script from an existing Cell app and injecting into the existing Cell app. about cell

[p3k]

do i understand this correctly that you are you looking for a way to determine which global variables have been added after loading a script?

if so, could some of the answers in this thread help or do the trick?

Thanks for sharing!

Yup, in fact this is how Cell implements its automatic instantiation mechanism https://github.com/intercellular/cell/blob/develop/cell.js#L501

But the challenge I'm trying to point out here is that currently there's no way to detect whether a variable has already been used or not.

In the example above, we need to detect only the variables that have been dynamically loaded as a result of the script load. The Object.keys(window) approach will return all the variables, not just the newly added ones. Hope I'm making sense, it's a niche scenario but I think it can be powerful if we can figure this out.
