Best way to include custom javascript into Vanilla 2

I'm trying to include a custom .js file into Vanilla 2 but i don't want to modify any of the core files like class.vanillacontroller.php. Has anyone done this successfully?

Note, i found one way that worked, its not exactly what i wanted but if you include a link to your .js file in your default.master.php it will work. But i'm still looking for a way to include a .js in the theme folder...

You can add a plugin class to a theme to add the js file. Let's assume your theme is called Patric. Do the following:

1. Add your custom.js to /themes/Patric/js/custom.js
2. Create a file called /themes/Patric/class.patricthemehooks.php
3. Add the following to the php file:

   
   <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
   
   class PatricThemeHooks implements Gdn_IPlugin {
   
     public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
         $Sender->AddJsFile('custom.js');
     }
   }

Themes are always searched for js and css files first so your custom.js will always be given the highest priority.
