Script include syntax

BALAJI K R — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 12:18:14 GMT

Could you please explain me with more details, what does the below code lines (Red and underlined) does.

var MyFavoritesAjax = Class.create();

MyFavoritesAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getFavorites: function() {

type:"MyFavoritesAjax"

});

Client script:

function callback(response) {

var result = response.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("result");

The above line is a class that is been extended just like we do in java which follows object oriented approach.

<classname>.prototype = object.extendobject(extending class),{ your script

Usually by default we extend AbstractAjaxProcessor which is used for GlideAjax.

For other

var answer =response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

Let us assume we have a function in Script Include :

demofunction: function () {

var element = this.getParameter('sysparm_parameter');

return 'Hi, This is bind with answer atrribute';

}

Now in client script -

function myCallBack(response) {

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

alert(answer); // Output "Hi, This is bind with answer atrribute"

}

Here "response" is an XML document which contains an attribute "answer" and the value returned from the demofunction binded with the answer attribute.

So response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer") gives us the value returned from the script include function.

Please Mark helpful or correct Answer , If it solves your query.
