bbp_enqueue_script( string $handle = '', string|bool $file = '',  $dependencies = array(),  $version = false, bool $in_footer = 'all' )

Enqueue a script from the highest priority location in the template stack.

Description

Registers the style if file provided (does NOT overwrite) and enqueues.

Parameters

$handle

(Optional) Name of the script.

Default value: ''

$file

(Optional) Relative path to the script. Example: '/js/myscript.js'.

Default value: ''

$deps

(Required) An array of registered handles this script depends on. Default empty array.

$ver

(Optional) String specifying the script version number, if it has one. This parameter is used to ensure that the correct version is sent to the client regardless of caching, and so should be included if a version number is available and makes sense for the script.

$in_footer

(Optional) Whether to enqueue the script before </head> or before </body>. Default 'false'. Accepts 'false' or 'true'.

Default value: 'all'

Return

(string) The script filename if one is located.
