Help on using script include on Service Portal widget

I am developing a custom widget on service portal and I have all the logic coded out on the Server Script. Now I realized that i can reuse some of the logic and want it to be reusable in the future for other widgets.

How can I set up a script include then pass a variable from server script to that script include and have the script include process that variable and return a value?

 

SAMPLE:

//OLD SERVER SCRIPT CODE:

var x = '0';

//The code below is a sample of what I want to be reusable in other widgets through script include
if (x == '0'){
// do nothing
} else {
//do this one
x = x + 1;
}
data.msg = x;

 

//NEW SERVER SCRIPT CODE:
var x = '0';

data.msg = new myScript().test(x);

I tried above and the variable x seems to be not being processed by script include.

 

SCRIPT INCLUDE: (updated the test: function(x) part as suggested)

var myScript = Class.create();
myScript.prototype = {
initialize: function() {
},
	
test: function(x) {
	
	if(x==0){   
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
},
	
	isPublic: function() {
		return true;
	},

type: 'myScript'
};

can you update the test function like below and check :

test: function (x)

{

if(x==0)

{

return true;

}

else {

return false;

}

},

Any ideas?

You can utilize the script include call directly via the server script or via GlideAjax from the client script.

I updated my post to be more clear. Tried directly calling it but it seems to not return value from script include.

can you update the test function like below and check :

test: function (x)

{

if(x==0)

{

return true;

}

return false;
