UI Script template strings

[-O-]

I am trying to include a UI Script into a UI Page.

The script contains template strings:

var someVariable = 'Abc';
console.log(`someVariable: ${someVariable}`);

Let's say this UI Script is called (has Name) testScript.

If I fetch this script by entering .../testScript.jsdbx into the browser's URL, the returned script is modified and show up as:

var someVariable = 'Abc';
console.log(`someVariable: `);

So the ${someVariable} part has been omitted/stripped out.
How does one prevent this?

I'm also getting this issue, would be interested if it's a bug or intended behaviour to sanitize code

It seems this is by design and the system looks for a property with the name within the curly braces and inserts the value of that property.

As a workaround what I did was to load the file as attachment, than <g:requires />'ed that attachment.
