Where to upload javascript file online and how to source it properly?

Question

I'm trying to find how where and how to upload my scripts where I can source them as an external script.

I can't seem to find any question like this or maybe I'm not good enough in searching

But anyway, my situation is, I need to upload script online, a basic document.write to save space.

It cannot be a file on the same folder of storage as my pages because it's for work, and pages should be shareable to people as a standalone file so they don't have to extract it anymore.

Now I have tried to upload it online on different types of cloud or host, but I can't source it, because of security purposes I think?

Or maybe the source tag I should use must be different if it's online? is it not <script type="text/javascript" src="https://abc.blabla.com/files/includes/html/page-links.js"></script>

Please please help. The main goal I have here is to upload my scripts online, and be able to source it as an external script on my "static and local website"

Thank you, Renz

Hi, I'm sorry for the wrong choice of words, however, what I would like to know instead is, if it's possible to source an external script from a "dummy" website that hosts my scripts. — The Author, Apr 28 '20 at 08:45

You probably are getting into to issues in most browsers when trying to load javascript from one domain (your-website.com) to another (localhost).

You can try loading your browser with CORS disabled (Chrome): Disable same origin policy in Chrome

Or with a plugin such as these: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/cors

There are no Same Origin Policy restrictions on loading scripts. – Quentin Apr 28 '20 at 08:32
I guessed the key part of the question was actually in the last sentence. – Fasani Apr 28 '20 at 11:47

You can do static hosting in firebase. once you host the files there then you can use the file link in script tag.

<script src="https://test.firebaseapp.com/file.js" ></script>
