JavaScript extension: importScript

[AJDulk]

At the moment in Server-side JavaScript you can import Java packages using importPackage. I am currently working on a library of JavaScript functions that I wish to use in various scripts. At the moment you have to import the library by adding it to the Form Properties -> Events -> JavaScript Libraries. It would be nice to make the scripts self contained, therefore to be able to import the script directly into the script without involving the form. To date I have never understood the scripts folder in the Library Business Project - maybe it would be a good place to put JavaScript libraries for use in other scripts.

Suggested API:

Code: Select all

importScript([SCRIPT_PROJECT.]SCRIPT_NAME);

e.g. importScript(LIBRARY.DATE_FUNCTIONS); or importScript(GLOBAL.PERSON_FUNCTIONS); or importScript(DATE_FUNCTIONS); assuming that LIBRARY is used as the Default Project.

Yes, I agree, this would be a good idea. Not sure how easy it is to implement but we should take a look.
