Cart API in UI Action

hwang · ‎01-30-2017

Is it possible to use Cart API in UI Actions?

The following code not working (Cart undefined). What my other options to order a catalog item in UI Actions?

=========

var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);

var cart = new Cart(cartId);

var item = cart.addItem('e46305bdc0a8010a00645e608031eb0f');

cart.setVariable(item, 'os', 'Linux Red Hat');

var rc = cart.placeOrder();

gs.addInfoMessage(rc.number);

========

Thanks,

Henry

No it definitely won't work if it runs client side. If it happens in the scoped app I think that's the issue. The Cart script include is not available from a scoped app by default, so you have a couple of options. The first involves updating the OOB cart script include and making it available from all application scopes, but I don't think that's a great idea.

ServiceNow Cart API in Scoped Application

I think what I would do is just copy the Cart script include and create a new one in your scoped app that it can use.

I followed Brad's suggestions and it works for me.

Basically create a new script include called MyCart. Copy the entire SVN Cart code; but rename the class name to "MyCart". Also make the new script include a Global and accessible from All application scope.

After that I can call it from UI actions.
