Nativescript - WebView / HtmlView + 3rd party javascript

Question

We have found that the nativescript ui pie chart is not going to be sufficient for our needs. From what I can tell, we might be able to do one of two things to use a third part javascript solution:

HtmlView
WebView with the source being local files

I'm not sure about 2 things with either solution:

Can we load 3rd party and custom javascript
Do we have the ability to listen to and trigger custom events (basically passing data/events to and from the web/html view and the containing component)

Answering those 2 questions would be huge for us, and then any potential examples would also be helpful. Thanks!

Yes, it's possible you could include third party scripts in WebView. But you will have to use absolute paths in Android & need a little patch work on iOS as described here Here is a Playground Sample for including images in WebView, the approach will be similar for any third party libraries.

You may use nativescript-webview-interface plugin if you want to communicate between your JavaScript inside WebView and NativeScript runtime.
