Store JS code in extra files

[rfalke]

Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

Place all JS code (for example connection scripts) in separate file. Currently they are inline (both for yaml and json) which makes it harder to diff/work on them.

Describe the ideal solution

Provide an option (or make it the normal behavior) so that all JS code snippets are stored in an extra file.

Alternatives and current work-arounds

The current way of inline storage is ok but no ideal.

Additional context

.../connections/foo.json

{
  "options": {
    "scope": "openid email",
    "scripts": {
      "fetchUserProfile": "function(access_token, ctx, callback) {\n  'use strict';....

.../tenant.yaml

connections:
  - name: foo
    strategy: oauth2
    options:
      scripts:
        fetchUserProfile: |-
          function(access_token, ctx, callback) {
            'use strict';
...

Appreciate the suggestion, it certainly would lend itself to a better developer experience. For transparency's sake, the roadmap for this project for the next couple quarters is focused on bugs and some high-impact features. So while a good suggestion, not realistically a candidate for development. However, if you're comfortable, I invite you to submit a PR to hasten the process.

Thanks for the honest feedback.

Hi, @rfalke ,
Please check the latest version release; JS code snippets are stored in an extra file.

I would appreciate you test this out and if problem still persists, we can re-evaluate. However I'm going to close in the meantime. Thanks for opening this ticket!
