Description
Increasing Access
Unsure
Feature enhancement details
I'm working on a bookmarklet to make copying code over to P5 Live easier. The tricky part is that P5 Live loads everything into one file, with a special syntax for loading libraries. I’m wondering if there’s a way, using just vanilla JS, to grab all the code as a string from index.html, sketch.js, and any other files on the client side, assuming the user is already logged in.

Research direction
Review index.html and sketch.js, then trace how P5 Live loads libraries and other client-side files. Determine whether vanilla JavaScript can access the needed content for a logged-in user, and document the answer or the concrete scope needed for a bookmarklet.
