chrisjhoughton / multiline.js
Created March 6, 2014 13:47
DO NOT USE. CURRENTLY BUGGY. An extremely useful yet nasty function to pass native HTML into a JavaScript function. Compatible with IE8+
var multiline = function (fn) {
var reCommentContents = /\/\*\s*([\s\S]*?)\s*\*\//;
return reCommentContents.exec(fn.toString())[1];
};
var html = multiline(function(){/*
<div>
<marquee>HELLO</marquee>
</div>
*/});

Only add the Keen IO JS SDK to the page if it's not already there; otherwise configure a new client instance
// useful if you are injecting code into 3rd party websites that may already have Keen
// this code will use the Keen SDK on the page if found, or initialize it's own otherwise.
// this approach will work in the average case, but could break if the 3rd party website
// is modifying or configuring the Keen library in an unexpected way
// a more durable approach would be to use an iFrame containing only the SDK and pass it messages
var context = this;
var myKeenClient = null;

wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
