Bricks child theme’s functions.php comes with code to enqueue (load) style.css on the front end.
What if you want to load a custom JavaScript file in addition to the CSS file?
Add
wp_enqueue_script( 'bricks-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/assets/js/script.js', [], filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/assets/js/script.js' ), true );below
wp_enqueue_style( 'bricks-child', get_stylesheet_uri(), ['bricks-frontend'], filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css' ) );Place your custom JS inside a file named script.js in your child theme at this location: /assets/js.
Sample URL:
https://bricks.local/wp-content/themes/bricks-child/assets/js/script.jsHere’s a boiler plate template for script.js:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
console.log("Hello Bricks!")
})

Hi, what's the pro and cons using this vs using script plugins like wpcodebox ?
Sridhar Katakam
WPCodeBox does not yet write code to the file system which will always be faster than loading code from the database.

wow. that's new. thanks

Is this still relevant? If so, does the code get minified automatically, and if not, how can we achieve that?
Sridhar Katakam
Yes.
Code will not be minified automatically. For that, you need to use a build process with something like Gulp or a plugin like FlyingPress.
If you are a Mac user, https://codekitapp.com/ is an option.
