How to receive 2 variables from a JSON from a Script Include?

[Lucas Rodrigues]

My client script is receiving 1 variable from a script include. But I want that this script include gives me 2 variables. How can I do that?

Hi @Lucas Rodrigues ,

If you meant to say, How to pass two arguments/parameters in a function of script include?

If yes, you can pass arguments one by one and can receive the same in script Include function in the same order.

For example. -

//calling a script include function with two vairable from different script.
var aaa = 3;
var bbb = 5;
var num1 = new ScriptIncludeName.functionName(aaa, bbb);

//Script include function
function: functionName(aaa, bbb){
   //function body
}

@Lucas Rodrigues You have two options to do it.

1. Your script include method should return a key/value pair

OR

2. Your script include returns an array of variables.

Here is an example of the first approach.

Client script:

function onLoad() {
  // Get the sys_id of the current user.
  var userId = g_user.userID;

  // Call the server-side script include to get user details.
  getUserDetails(userId);
}

function getUserDetails(userId) {
  var ga = new GlideAjax('UserDetailsScriptInclude');
  ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getUserInfo');
  ga.addParam('sysparm_user_id', userId);
  ga.getXML(userDetailsCallback);
}

function userDetailsCallback(response) {
  var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
  var userDetails = JSON.parse(answer);

  if (userDetails) {
    var userName = userDetails.name;
    var userDob = userDetails.dob;

    // Populate form fields or display the data.
    g_form.setValue('user_name', userName); // Replace 'user_name' with your field name
    g_form.setValue('user_dob', userDob);    // Replace 'user_dob' with your field name

    // Optionally display an alert:
    // alert("User Name: " + userName + "\nDate of Birth: " + userDob);
  } else {
    // Optional error message
    //alert("User details not found.");
  }
}

Script Include:

var UserDetailsScriptInclude = Class.create();
UserDetailsScriptInclude.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
  getUserInfo: function() {
    var userId = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_id');
    var user = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

    if (user.get(userId)) {
      var userName = user.name.toString();
      var userDob = user.dob.getDisplayValue();
      var userDetails = {
        name: userName,
        dob: userDob
      };
      return JSON.stringify(userDetails);
    } else {
      return null;
    }
  },

  type: 'UserDetailsScriptInclude'
});

Hope this helps.

@Lucas Rodrigues 

you can use JSON and return it from script include and then parse in client script
