> You can add dependencies using fanstatic. For example, check

> . That resource.config file configures the JS and CSS dependencies used in

> ckan.plugins.toolkit.add_resource() in your extension (as in
> https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-basiccharts/blob/master/ckanext/basiccharts/plugin.py#L21-L23),
> and then you can add that to any template you'd like, as in

The docs for this could be better:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/theming/fanstatic.html

There's a note at the bottom of that page that mentions dependencies
between files and links to this page:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/contributing/frontend/resources.html

which does explain about the resource.config file, but I think that
whole second page could be refactroed and inlined into the first
(fanstatic.html) page, with a clearer explanation and an example.
