Hosting external libraries in splunk and instantiating them in an HTML dashboard

[mikdman]

Is it possible to host and use 3rd party javascript libraries for HTML dashboards and what is the best practice for doing this?
more specifically, in my case I'm attempting to use Vue JS for a simple "Hello World" in an HTML dashboard.
Instantiating the Vue component as follows

var app = new Vue({ 
    el: '#app',
    data: {
        message: 'Hello World!'
    }
});

and then calling on it in HTML

<script src="vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
    {{ message }}
</div>

neither calling for the JS script explicitly via an external file in .../static or referencing it in require seem to work.

Does anyone know of a good method/best practice to host/run VueJS in splunk for HTML dashboards?
