Overriding plugin js file using wp_dequeue_script

Hi,
I need to make some changes to a plugins js file and I want to do it so that it's not overwritten on any plugin updates

The file I am trying to override is wp_enqueue_script( 'dokan-script' );

// store and my account page
        if ( dokan_is_store_page() || dokan_is_store_review_page() || is_account_page() || is_product() ) {

            if ( DOKAN_LOAD_STYLE ) {
                wp_enqueue_style( 'dokan-select2-css' );
            }

            if ( DOKAN_LOAD_SCRIPTS ) {

                self::load_form_validate_script();
                $this->load_gmap_script();

                wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-sortable' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-datepicker' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'dokan-tooltip' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'dokan-chosen' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'dokan-form-validate' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'speaking-url' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'dokan-vendor-registration' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'dokan-script' );
                wp_enqueue_script( 'dokan-select2-js' );
            }
        }

        do_action( 'dokan_enqueue_scripts' );
    }

Open in new window

Then further down in that file its calling the dokan.js file I want to override...

'dokan-script' => array(
                'src'       => $asset_url . '/js/dokan.js',
                'deps'      => array( 'imgareaselect', 'customize-base', 'customize-model', 'dokan-i18n-jed' ),
                'version'   => filemtime( $asset_path . '/js/dokan.js' ),
            ),

Open in new window

Can someone help me as I'm not sure where to start or where to place my code?

Many Thanks,

Andrew

In your functions.php file dequeue the script and enqueue your new script

function replace_scripts() {
    wp_dequeue_script( 'dokan-script' );
    wp_deregister_script( 'dokan-script' );
    // Enqueue your new script here
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'replace_scripts );
