Hi,

i just read the API Docs but i was wondering how to set it up that it works?

When i try to access the acf object from a external js file, directly in the header or in the footer i always get “acf is not defined”.

Thanks in advance for your help.

When you enqueue a script you need to make sure you set the $depends argument.

wp_enqueue_script($handle, $src, array('acf-input'), $version, true);

it is best to enqueue your scripts on the ‘acf/admin_enqueue_scripts’ hook

add_action('acf/admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_acf_scripts');
function my_acf_scripts() {
  // enqueue scripts see above
}
