load-script is a tiny, dependency-free JavaScript library designed to asynchronously load external JavaScript files into a web page. It provides a simple API to load scripts and execute a callback function once the script has been loaded and executed. Useful for dynamic module loading or adding external libraries on demand without blocking the main thread, simplifying dependency management in client-side JavaScript applications. Offers cross-browser support.
The npm package load-script has sporadic releases. Initial development occurred in 2013 with 3 versions. One version was released in March 2014 and another in March 2015. After more than 6 years, version 2.0.0 was released in October 2021. There have been no releases since then in the last 46 months.
Load-script npm package downloads show a general upward trend from March 2024 (5.5M) to July 2025 (8.3M). August 2025 downloads are lower (7.2M), potentially reflecting incomplete data for the month. Overall, the package experienced significant growth in popularity over the past year and a half.
