GlideAjax Question - how to use response in other places in my code?

kemmy1 · ‎10-27-2023

I need to get the answer from my GlideAjax script and use this answer in other if statements in my client script. How do I do this?

Simple GlideAjax:

var getStudent = new GlideAjax('<glideAjax');

getStudent.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isLawStudent');

getStudent.getXMLAnswer(getStudentResult);

function getStudentResult(response) {

g_form.addInfoMessage("response: " + response);

var student2 = response;

}

g_form.addInfoMessage("student2: " + student2); //not getting data

Thanks in advance?

Hi @kemmy1 ,

Why don't u define your logic in your existing function where u receiving response from GlideAjax? Something like below

 var ga = new GlideAjax('asu_GetLocationData');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getCampus');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_buildingid', g_form.getValue("u_building"));
    ga.getXMLAnswer(updateCampus);
}

function updateCampus(answer) {
    var clearvalue; // Stays Undefined
    if (answer) {
         var returneddata = JSON.parse(answer);
         g_form.setValue("campus", returneddata.sys_id, returneddata.name);
    } else {
         g_form.setValue("campus", clearvalue);
    }
}

Thanks,

Danish

Hi @kemmy1

Hmm...then can you try like calling function within function:

var getStudent = new GlideAjax('<glideAjax');
getStudent.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isLawStudent'); 
getStudent.getXMLAnswer(getStudentResult);
 
function getStudentResult(response) {
   g_form.addInfoMessage("response: " + response);
 var student2= response;
   myNewFunction(student2);
}

function myNewFunction(student2){
g_form.addInfoMessage("student2: " + student2);
}

Tried your solution and student2 is not defined (when I try to addInfoMessage out of the function)

var getStudent = new GlideAjax('x_g_dh5_digitalg28.G28Ajax');
getStudent.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isLawStudent'); //if user is a law student
getStudent.getXMLAnswer(getStudentResult);
// var student2 = '';

function getStudentResult(response) {
var student2 = response;
myNewFunction(student2);
}

function myNewFunction(student2) {
g_form.addInfoMessage("student2: " + student2);
}

g_form.addInfoMessage("otherstudent2: " + student2);

Try the following.

var getStudent = new GlideAjax('<glideAjax');
getStudent.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isLawStudent'); 
getStudent.getXMLAnswer(getStudentResult);
 var student2='';
function getStudentResult(response) {
   g_form.addInfoMessage("response: " + response);
  student2 = response;
}
    g_form.addInfoMessage("student2: " + student2); //not getting data

So weird, I'm still not getting data.

var getStudent = new GlideAjax('<glideAjax');

getStudent.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isLawStudent');

getStudent.getXMLAnswer(getStudentResult);

var student2 = '';

function getStudentResult(response) {

g_form.addInfoMessage("response: " + response); //getting data

student2 = response;

g_form.addInfoMessage("FIRST student2: " + student2); //getting data

}

g_form.addInfoMessage("student2: " + student2); //NOT getting data

Hi @kemmy1 ,

Can u try below code:
