Global function call for each widget in Service Portal

[Deepika Mishra]

Hi All,

Scenario:
I have few widgets where in each widget it does multiplication of two numbers. So in each widget I call a function where it does the multiplication part. These individual widgets have some other functionality as well along with this multiplication.

So, I want to understand is there any way I can have this  "multiplication of two numbers" function in a place (like a global function out of all widgets) defined and call that particular part when required.

Note: I need different widgets which have a common function for multiplication. So, is there any way to only have the function define at a separate place and call when required inside widget.

Hi,

You could also just create it in a script include, and then call that on all your widgets. 

var result = new nameOfScriptInclude().functionInScriptInclude();

Hi,

The function which I want to invoke globally has HTML element and attribute changes.
Will adding SI will help in such scenario ?

I figured out a way to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Go To Widget Angular Provider

Type: Service

Name: testService

Client Script:

function testService() {
	
   
    this.showResult = function() {
        return "Hi";
    };
}

Step 2: Save

Step 3: Open widget where this Angular Provider needs to be called.

Step 4: Go to the Related List of the widget and add the service under "Angular Provider"

Step 5: Add below code in Client Controller of that Widget

api.controller = function($scope,testService) {
    /* widget controller */
    var c = this;
	
	$scope.serviceCall = testService.showResult();
	console.log("$scope.serviceCall: "+$scope.serviceCall);
};

Hi @Deepika Mishra & @Thameem Ansari , I want to have same kind of functionality but I want to call this function in server script of every widget instead of calling in client script.

Can you please tell me how can I do that?
