gs.include() versus new ScriptInclude()

kungfuu72 · ‎06-25-2014

Came across a few examples where out-of-box code may reference gs.include('ScriptInclude');

But then what would be the difference (if any) in using

gs.include('ScriptInclude');

versus

var foo = new NewInclude();

I'm curious as to the differences and/or the advantages.

Hi Daniel,

gs.include() allows you to call a script include and use the functions in that script include within your current script include i.e you do not have to copy the functions into your current script include, but rather you can call them directly.

var foo = new NewInclude() initializes an object for the script include NewInclude. Now any function that you have defined within this script include class can be called directly using foo:-

eg:-

var NewInclude = Class.create();


NewInclude.prototype = {


   initialize : function() {


   },


       myFunction : function() {


           //do something


   },




   type : 'NewInclude'


};

Usage:-

var foo = new NewInclude();


foo.myFunction();

Thanks & Regards,

Hari
