Dropbox JavaScript SDK vs Dropbox saver JavaScript
Hello,
I'm just starting to use Dropbox JavaScript SDK from http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html on my client side. But there is a conflict when using both refrences from
<script src="https://unpkg.com/dropbox/dist/Dropbox-sdk.min.js" ></script>
AND
<script src="//www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="riqoimk2j9c8d1m" ></script>
Both references has Dropbox object and Dropbox function (both same name) and this cause javascript error when creating a saver button. For instance:
var button = Dropbox.createSaveButton(options)
This createSaveButton will cause an error since there is no "createSaveButton" method from https://unpkg.com/dropbox/dist/Dropbox-sdk.min.js. Is there a way that I can distinguish these 2 "Dropbox" object/function so their methods can be called properly.
Thanks
These libraries weren't written with each other in mind unfortunately, but you can do something like this to work around it:
<script src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="riqoimk2j9c8d1m" ></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var Dropbox_Dropins = Dropbox; </script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/dropbox/dist/Dropbox-sdk.min.js" ></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var Dropbox_SDK = Dropbox; </script>And then you can use Dropbox_Dropins or Dropbox_SDK in place of Dropbox respectively.
