Can I have EXEC_SCRIPT call a function instead of String?

[BLOMASKY]

is it possible to have a file with all of my "functions" that I want to call from my application and then have it included in my app, so I can just have a simple call in my process. something like EXEC_SCRIPT MyScript.myFunction(parameters)


Thanks

Well, you can create your own Javascript file with your functions and put the file into Custom/JS directory from where it will be automatically loaded when your app starts up.

OK, so assume I do create a file. How do I reference the name of my function?
Do I need to put my functions in a class?
Any samples?

Thanks

You don't need classes. You can just call it like this:

EXEC_SCRIPT 'myFunction(parameters)'

Just make sure that the name myFunction is globally unique. A good idea is to have a special prefix unique to you/your company:

EXEC_SCRIPT 'bl_myFunction (parameters)'

and in your Javascript file you will define it like this:

function bl_myFunction (parameters)
{
alert ("Function is running!!!");
}

i am having a lot of trouble with this rule.
my js content located in Custom/JS

Code: Select all

function LopenBrowser(LbasedURL) {
	alert(LbasedURL);
		   }

here is what i tried:

Code: Select all

EXEC_SCRIPT 'LopenBrowser(LbasedURL)' 

error Exception running script ReferenceError: LbasedURL is not defined

Code: Select all

EXEC_SCRIPT 'LopenBrowser(/LbasedURL/)' 

function run OK with the parameter value= /LbasedURL/

Code: Select all

EXEC_SCRIPT 'LopenBrowser(/val/val/file.pdf)' 

error Exception running script SyntaxError: invalid regular expression flag v

how can i pass this parameter "/val/val/file.pdf"

Why don't you do something like this:

EXEC_SCRIPT 'var param1=...; param2=...; LopenBrowser(param1,param2)'

Why don't you do something like this:

EXEC_SCRIPT 'var param1=...; param2=...; LopenBrowser(param1,param2)'

it's a single parameter function.
for now i have divided the string to multiple parameters and join them with JS
