# Enqueue script from a Customizer setting

 * In relation to using the masonry script in WordPress, I have it enqueued normally,
   but I’d like to load the script “only” when a theme setting is set from the Customizer.
   For example, my theme has several blog layout/styles, one is the masonry, so 
   if I have the masonry option chosen, I want the script to show, otherwise not.
 * I’m seeing an error on pages when it’s loaded but not needed as “Element Null”.
 * Basically I need to keep the enqueue of this masonry in the functions.php, but
   have it so it loads only when my theme option is chosen.
 * Right now I have this:
 *     ```
       if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'masonry' );
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'masonry-helper', get_template_directory_uri().'/js/masonry-helper.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
       	}
       ```

 * Ah…nevermind, apparently it works just like any other theme template. I did it
   like this:
 *     ```
       $blogstyle = get_theme_mod( 'blog_style', '' );
       switch ($blogstyle) {
       	case "masonry" :
       	if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'masonry' );
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'emphasize-pro-masonry-helper', get_template_directory_uri().'/js/masonry-helper.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
       	}
          break;
       }
       ```

 * I stand corrected….turns out the scripts are loading on the blog home and archives
   when I choose a different blog style from the WP Customizer, other than the “
   Masonry” option.
 * Is there an alternative to make this work?
 * My theme offers several blog layouts and styles, with the Masonry being one.

 * OK….after exploding a few brain cells, I believe I found the solution:
 *     ```
       $blogstyle = get_theme_mod( 'blog_style', '' );
       if ( $blogstyle == 'masonry' || $blogstyle == 'masonrywide') {
       	if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'masonry' );
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'emphasize-pro-masonry-helper', get_template_directory_uri().'/js/masonry-helper.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
       	}
       }
       ```
