The ServiceNow code-snippets GitHub repository is a great resource that I tend to forget about (and am reminded of every October). It was created as part of Hacktoberfest in 2021 and it contains TONS of ServiceNow code examples that might be useful to you if you are
- learning ServiceNow scripting and/or
- looking for common scripting use cases (which may already be written/solved for you as part of the code-snippets repository).
Here are just a few examples of what you can find...
In the Background Scripts section, there is FlushOutbox:
The structure of the subdirectories are as follows:
The readme.md file is what is loaded when you navigate to the GitHub directory and it describes what the code does. Sometimes, it has details on how to use the code example provided. You will also find the JavaScript file (eg. script.js in the example above) that contains the actual code.
Other examples
Do you want to attach a workflow to an existing record? There's a Background Script code-snippet for that.
Do you want to enforce a 1:1 relationship between two tables? There is a Business Rule code-snippet for that.
Do you want to loop through a Multi Row Variable Set (MVRS)? There is a Client Script code-snippet for that.
And SO much more...
Do you see something missing?
It's an open source repository so you can contribute to it. Look through the Hacktoberfest resources on the Developer site for information and how-tos, including the walkthrough via Live Coding Happy Hour.
