Hi, I'm at this [stage](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/import-javascript-library-into-node-red/7665/2) . when I was with my local PC I'm able to connect my library successfully.

Now I have docker for that I've also mount the directory and provide path to settings.js

but I'm confused on my **script** tag. should I put localhost there or my hosted server IP??

```auto
<script type="text/javascript" src="http:/locahost:1880/api/t2e/dist/tableToExcel.js"></script>

```

### note **/api/** is enabled by httpadminroot::

also will this gonna work?

What have you set httpStatic to?

What is the full path/filename of the .js file?

Where are you trying to load this? I'm a node-red Dashboard ui\_template?

What URL do you access the dashboard on?

What URL do you access the NR editor on?

My directory is /dataNR which is bind to docker container at /fileNR  
in dataNR I've another directory called t2e which have files inside.

1. httpStatic: '/filesNR'

2. fullpath : /filesNR/t2e/dist/tableToExcel.js

3. I want to provide JavaScript file for template node.

4. [http://mydomain.com:1880/dashboard/](http://mydomain.com:1880/dashboard/)

5.[http://mydomain.com:1880/api/](http://mydomain.com:1880/api/)

Then I think you should use `/t2e/dist/tableToExcel.js` as the path in the script tag. No need for the full domain as its served from the same domain as the dashboard.
