Scripting Modules

Scripting modules are used to build a library for common functions. All module can be called from any script including client side form scripts.

Modules are created at process level and every module has a name to distinguish from other modules.

For a module you can configure following properties;

Name Name of module. Module name must be a valid JavaScript identifier, cannot contain space and other scripting identifiers.

Content Content of module

Exporting Functions

Common module definition can be defined as below;

function privateSum(a,b) {
    return a + b;
}


function sum(a,b) {
    return privateSum(a,b);
}

exports.sum = sum;

If you want to expose a function to outside of module, function must be included in "exports" definition. All other functions are considered as "private" to module.

Calling Module Functions

To call a function in a module module name must be specified as below;

var result = MyModule.sum(2,3);


// result = 5

Client side script modules are always executed as asynchronous context because of browser limitations. To call same function as client side function must be renamed as below;

MyModule.sumAsync(2,3).then(function(result) {
    // result = 5
});
