React Script Tag Updated for React 18
NPM Package
This react component is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the <script>
html native tag. After you add it in any location of your react-app, the component
will take care on appending the corresponding script tag to your app's document.
It supports all the native
attributes as
well.
Outside Change Log
- May 2024
- Refactored for better extensibility, readability, and usage of React 18 features.
- Dec 2022
- This is a really well written little tool that actually allows for script loading to at least feel some what asynchronously loadable. Just saw it fall out of date with its packages so updated them and also using typescript now. Creating a seperate NPM package for now but if the original author wants to add these changes I'll be more than happy to delete the npm package.

Installation
You can install this package thru npm or yarn:
yarn install react-script-tag-18
Usage
You can use the Script
component anywhere. Once it is mounted, the component
will proceed to load your script.
Example Usage
Run a demo in your browser, with code, using CodeSandbox here!
import React from 'react';
import ScriptTag from 'react-script-tag-18';
const MyProfileComponent = () => {
const [jsLoaded , setJsLoaded] = React.useState(false);
render() {
return (
<div>
<div className="some-class-that-relies-on-profile-js" style={{
alignItems: 'center',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
textAlign: 'center',
display: 'flex-box',
justifyContent: 'center',
}}>
</div>
<ScriptTag src="https://platform.linkedin.com/badges/js/profile.js"
delayMs={500}
onLoad={() => {
console.log('My Profile.js script Loaded');
setJsLoaded(true); // set some state variable to initiate a re-render
}}
async={true}
/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default MyProfileComponent;
It is recommended that the
Script
tag is placed in a component that only renders once in the entire life of your app. Otherwise, a new<script>
tag will be appended each time the component mounts again. There are plans down the road to prevent this.

~~Deprecated Examples~~
At GumGum, we usually wrap the Script
component as follow, to facilitate
adding 3rd-parties. Here is an example, on how we add Qualaroo:
import Script from '../common/ScriptLoader';
import React from 'react';
class QualarooLoader extends React.Component {
_onCreate = () => {
window._kiq = window._kiq || [];
};
_onSuccess = () => {
const userStr = localStorage.getItem('user');
const user = JSON.parse(userStr);
if (!user) return;
const email = user.email;
window._kiq.push(['identify', email]);
};
_onError = error => {
throw new Error(`Could not load ${error.outerHTML}`);
};
render() {
return (
<Script
src="//s3.amazonaws.com/ki.js/<id>/fFn.js"
type="text/javascript"
onCreate={this._onCreate}
onSuccess={this._onSuccess}
onError={this._onError}
defer
/>
);
}
}
export default QualarooLoader;
We strongly suggest using the attributes
async
anddefer
(depending on your situation). Here is a good explanation.
Then we call our new wrapper in our app:
import React from 'react';
import Qualaroo from 'QualarooLoader';
class MyApp extends React.Component {
/* ... */
render() {
return (
<>
{/* Other Components */}
<Qualaroo delayMs={500}/>
</>
);
}
}
API
src
string
| required
URI that specifies the location of your script.
delayMs
number
| defaults to0
Artifically adds a delay in milliseconds after the component mounts, but before the script tag is appended to the document. Useful for scripts that are not necessary early on, and may conflict on the browser's request-limit.
onCreate
function()
| defaults toFunction.prototype
A callback function that is called just right after the script
tag has been
appended to the document.
onLoad
function(event: Event)
| defaults toFunction.prototype
This function is called after the script has been successfully loaded.
onError
function(error: Event)
| defaults tothrow new URIError(...)
If there is a problem loading your script, this function is called.
Other Props ⚠️
As stated previously, this component supports all the
attributes
that the html script
tag supports. You simply have to pass it as props to the
<Script>
component. In fact, any other prop that is not listed above will
be appended as-is to the native script
tag.
We have tested it with the following attributes: type
, chartset
, async
,
defer
, crossOrigin
, and noModule
. (Everything else should work
nevertheless).
Roadmap
- [x] Document the component
- [x] Write examples
- [ ] Write tests
- [ ] Prevent appending scripts twice when component re-mounts
