Re-usable media/com_content/js/admin-articles-default-batch-footer.js

The above mentioned script is written to use for com_content only. Can it somehow, be used for other components such as com_banners, com_contacts....? Currently, in these components, we still use inline JS. Ping @dgrammatiko @Fedik for help.

yes

/** @var Joomla\CMS\WebAsset\WebAssetManager $wa */
$wa = $this->document->getWebAssetManager();
$wa->getRegistry()->addExtensionRegistryFile('com_content'); // <- Add com_content assets to registry, manually
$wa->useScript('com_content.admin-articles-batch');

I know. The problem is that we hardcode the task to com_content https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/4.0-dev/build/media_source/com_content/js/admin-articles-default-batch-footer.es6.js#L18

And just a question: Is it safe to use assets from a different extension in another extension?

Is it safe to use assets from a different extension in another extension?

As long as you wear a helmet ;)
We have use some stuff from categories and lang associations, in this way.

The problem is that we hardcode the task

I see now, it will not work for others, as is.
In theory can read the task from batch button (as it done in set up),

Or well, just remove that if (form && task === 'article.batch'), whole submitTask() cannot be called externally, but only if someone click #batch-submit-button-id
