Hello Colleagues,
I'm relatively new to ServiceNow script includes and I have some questions about them. What I've noticed is that we can create script includes by extending class "AbstractAjaxProcessor" or as a stand alone javascript functions.
The first method looks like this:
var myScriptInclude = Class.create();
myScriptInclude.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
myFuncton: () {
var x = this.getParameter( "my_parameter" )
...
return x * 2;
}
type: 'myScriptInclude '
}
On the client we can say:
var myVar = new GlideAjax( "myScriptInclude" );
myVar.addParam( "my_parameter", "PARAMETER" );
myVar.getXML( callback ) // Here we can specify the callback function, which will do something with the asnwer.
The next option is:
function myScriptInclude ( arg ) {
...
return arg * 2;
}
In the workflow activity we can use it by
gs.include( "myScriptInclude " );
with the function we can build our custom reference qualifier for example
javascript:myScriptInclude("some_argument");
This one is pretty powerfull for building custom filters with some advanced logic.
However I don't know if it is possible to call such script (function based) on the client.
So my question is how those two differs (how ServiceNow perceives them) ? Where can I find something about AbstractAjaxProcessor ? And how can I invoke function based script include on the client side (for example in the catalog form) ?
Thank you.
