Hey @ppremkumar055!

Yep, you can write functions in backend code, and then import them into page code (including lightboxes).

Take a read over this doc to understand how backend code works - https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/getting-started/writing-backend-code

Hi Simen, backend code from Public or Backend ( .js or .jws files). Can we use these files on the Lightbox?

You can’t import .js files to frontend (page code/lightbox) you can only import functions in .js files within backend files if it’s created in backend.

You can create .jsw files to export functions and import exported functions to frontend/lightbox code.

myModule.jsw:

export function example(x, y) {
    return x * y;
}

Lightbox Code:

import { example } from 'backend/myModule.jsw';

$w.onReady(() => {
    example(5, 5)
        .then((result) => {
            console.log(result);
        })
})

If that’s helped don’t forget to mark answer/s as solution.
