The other aspect which I mentioned earlier, where you are able to get content from anywhere works as follows. So anywhere in any custom area of JCB, where you can add custom script, you can also use this 'EXTERNALCODE' Snippet. Now, this could be a URL or it could be a folder in your system. This folder does not yet work with Constants. It needs to be exact for the path at this stage but the reality is that with this EXTERNALCODE concept, you can take for example the variable from a Gits snippet. [00:10:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m36s)
Let me illustrate. Here is what I have called 'fancydate' which is a few static functions that are not wrapped in the class yet. It is outside a class because I want to include it in my helper class with the snippet, that I can have others work with me on this code on GitHub. [00:11:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m07s) If any changes are made to this code, it automatically updates my system. Now there might be some security concern in doing it. But a few tricks has been added in the compiler to notify you if there has been a change to the code. [00:11:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m36s)
It means that the first time you use that snippet to include this snippet that you have got here, you do something like 'Raw'. Here is a text file. Grab that URL(see video) an add it like this. [00:12:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m11s) Currently it is bound to a specific version which if anybody makes a change to the snippet, you will not get the new version. Well, that is the way to lock it in. But if you want it to be dynamic, you can remove a part of this(see video) and then you can use it like that. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

### Specific Piece Of Text Dynamically Added To The Back End Of Component Builder
[00:12:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m38s)
Now this specific piece of text that you see here, will dynamically be added to my component. Let me demonstrate. I've opened Component Builder in it's back end. I've gone to this Libs & Helpers tab. I'm going to scroll down to this area which is called Admin class. I will do it in the admin area so that's easily detectable. [00:13:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m07s) I'm going to add that snippet like that so it says EXTERNALCODE with the path of the URL. That's it. I'm going to save and close.

### When Compiled - It Should Tell You Have Added The EXTERNALCODE To Your Component
[00:13:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m19s)
Let's go to the Compiler. Now what should happen is that the moment you've compiled this, it should tell you that you've added This kind of external code to your component. If it doesn't tell you that then something's wrong. it should tell you the first time you've add the snippet. [00:13:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m43s) Because it creates a hash of that snippet. In the future if it changes, you get notified. When we grab the snippet from Github and anybody in the middle tampers with it, it will notify you that the snippet was changed. If you know that it should have changed because you made a change to the Gits snippet or someone else in your team did, [00:14:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7wzW075lA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h14m15s) then obviously you'll be expecting that. You could still for safety sake go check in the code of the component where the snippet is being added to ensure that it is still accurate. I'll show you that. Let's compile this.
