Send array from script include to client script.

[anand98900]

I am trying to send array from script include to client script and traverse that array.

But i am unable to get an array in client script.

You need to encode your array in the script include and return a JSON string.

// Helsinki

return JSON.stringify(arrayName);

// Pre-Helinki

return new JSON().encode(arrayName);

In your client script, you parse the answer from the response like you normally would, but when you extract your array from the answer like this

var myArray = answer.evalJSON();

Thank you Chuck.

For the shake of information if try to send this object from script include to client script                          

var sendResponse = '{role:[{"id": "123", "name": "IT_Role"},{"id": "456", "name": "BUSINESS_Role", }]}';
var responseJONObject = new global.JSON().decode(sendResponse)

How do i send this responseJSONObject object to client script and get name from this objects.

Replace decode with encode on line 2. You are turning the object in to a string.
