Feature Request: Automatically Include custom.js Without Editing base.11ty.js

[lucafalefoto]

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you for the great work on Quire—it's a fantastic tool.

I wanted to suggest a small but meaningful improvement: currently, if I want to use a custom.js file (just like we do with custom.css), I need to manually modify the base.11ty.js template and insert:

<script src="/_assets/javascript/custom.js"></script>

right before the closing </body> tag.

However, this approach has a couple of drawbacks:

• Any changes made directly to base.11ty.js will likely be overwritten during updates or upgrades, making this a fragile solution.
• Conceptually, it seems inconsistent: Quire already supports custom.css out of the box, and I would expect custom.js to be treated similarly—as a default part of the customizable frontend assets.

It would be great if custom.js were automatically included, so we could easily extend functionality without touching the core templates.

Thanks for considering this!

Thank you @lucafalefoto. This is a very thoughtful suggestion, which I have added to our Issue Board as #1032 for further conversation with our developers. Keep an eye there for updates.
