Allow creating global JS functions to reuse in component design

[micebrain]

Hello
I created a few calculation formulas in JS for display in the UI - thanks to the JS instead of Handlebars capability.
But I found myself copying and pasting the same function to each component that requires it i.e. a lot of duplication and if I update the function I have to remember not to miss any component that uses it and risk creating bugs in the app.
It becomes a real pain when the app grows.
It would be nice to have a place for example in the "Data" screen a section for defining JS functions that can be made available throughout the app.
In this way, we avoid duplication and also reduced the final application size.

Agreed - this would be great!

Is this something that would be considered done by the Budibase team?
I'd really love to see this feature made available.

While true it would probably work, but to me this sounds more like a hack than a workaround 🙃

I think eval can have some security implications as well. There's an issue you can follow here: #3571
