Calling UI Macro from Client Script

miyu · ‎11-03-2022

How can I call UI macros from client scripts?
When I call UI Macro, I get a console error.
I want to call it from a client script, not a catalog client script.

Hi @miyu ,

It won't work that way. Reason for your error is you are calling a function setDesc() from your client script which is not defined in it, rather it's in UI Macro which is not callable from there.

Copy paste your script from client script and paste it inside <script> </script> section of your ui macro inside a function and call it as shown below:

<script>
function setValuesOnLoad(){
//Copy your client script here from line number 2 - 17

}

//Keep your previous code available in UI Macro i.e. setDesc() funstion as it is here


window.onload = setValuesOnLoad; // add this line just before </script>
</script>

I hope this help.

Please mark this helpful if this helps and Accept the solution if this solves your issue.

Hello,

You can call the macro function from CS.

Macro:

function a()

{}

</script>

Client script:

You have to call that a function from Client script

a();

Also you can follow the method mentioned in the below article:-

Hi @miyu ,

Could you please elaborate what do you mean by calling UI macro in client script? What is in your UI Macro that you want to call? A screenshot will be more helpful to understand your issue, if you can provide.
