Let's say you want to make some bookmarklets be available to readers of your website and you want to be able to update them conveniently without having to re-encode your javascript into a bookmarklet and edit your website html. Here's a simple method. Post the bookmarklet on gist.github.com, and then edit and use the following html/javascript code to fetch the javascript and automatically generate a bookmarklet:
<p>My bookmarklet is here: <a href="__error__" id="myBookmarklet1">My Bookmarklet</a>.</p> <script> var linkId = "myBookmarklet1"; var gistLink = "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/arpruss/74abc1bc95ae08e543b9b74f15a23b07/raw"; fetch(gistLink).then(function(response) { if (!response.ok) { //alert("Error fetching "+response.statusText); } else { response.text().then(function(text) { var link = document.getElementById(linkId); link.href = "javascript:"+encodeURIComponent("(function(){"+text+"})()"); }); } }); </script>
For a live example, see my previous post.
