    I’m adding some additional widgets to the page builder and want to include custom javascript. I found the API for enqueueing javascript however ran into issues: https://github.com/pojome/elementor/blob/develop/docs/content/hooks/php-hooks.md#frontend-actions

    The code works great when I view the page on the front-end, however when I open up the Elementor editor the javascript doesn’t load. Let me know if this is a bug OR if I should be enqueuing using a different function.

    Even better, is there code to enqueue JS per widget/element? I tried using wp_enqueue_script within the protected function render() {} which worked on the front-end but again didn’t work when viewing using the elementor editor.

    Additional Information on issue:

    I’m having trouble enqueuing scripts and styles. I setup a simple CSS file that forces the background red for testing. This works when viewing the frontend; however when I view the backend the style-sheet does not get loaded. What is the proper way to enqueue script/styles?

    Screen-shot showing missing style-sheet when editor open (No Red Background): http://i.imgur.com/gYk2xQY.png

    Code being used: 

    add_action( 'elementor/frontend/before_enqueue_scripts', function() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'example-frontend-styles' );
} );

    Second Question: Is there code to enqueue CSS/JS per widget/element? I tried using wp_enqueue_style within the protected function render() {} which worked on the front-end but again didn’t work when viewing using the elementor editor. Same issue as above.
