Namespaces in javascript

Posted on by Rydman 96

Hi,

 

I've managed to cobble together my first javascript ever (yay!) and it works fine. This is how it looks:

 

ObjectivesSubGridFilterExecution = function (executionContext, teamGuid, gridName) {

// some of working code

}

 

 

In my configuration, I call it like this:

Now, I'd like to follow best practice and use namespaces. There are lots of examples of various ways of doing this but none that I can get to work. Let's say I'd like to create a namespace "geoproject" so I configure my event to call geoproject.ObjectivesSubGridFilterExecution (and more functions that will be added to the .js file). All my attempts so far result in a dialog box informing me that it can't find the function geoproject.ObjectivesSubGridFilterExecution

 

What's the syntax? Any help much appreciated!

    Hi @Rydman ,

     

    Could you share your script?

    Hi,

     

    Here goes (the working script, not featuring any of my attempts to use namespaces):

     

    SubGridFilterExecution = function (executionContext, team) {


	var teamGuid;
	var gridNo;

	// The GUIDS mapped here can be found in the cr047_GeothermalProjectTeam table, column cr047_GeothermalProjectTeamId
	switch(team) {
	 	case "resource":
	 		teamGuid = "22db93c2-3bc2-ec11-983f-6045bd948406";
	 		gridNo = "1"
			break;

	 	case "bd":
	 		teamGuid = "23db93c2-3bc2-ec11-983f-6045bd948406";
	 		gridNo = "2"
			break;

	 	case "project":
	 		teamGuid = "24db93c2-3bc2-ec11-983f-6045bd948406";
	 		gridNo = "3"
			break;

	 	case "all":
	 		teamGuid = "d2439bd2-b1c7-ec11-a7b6-000d3aad0e38";
	 		gridNo = "4"
			break;

		default:
	}

	var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_objectives_" + gridNo, "cr047_objective");
	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_decisions_" + gridNo, "cr047_decision");
	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_deliverables_" + gridNo, "cr047_deliverable");
	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_tasks_" + gridNo, "cr047_task");

};


SubGridFilter = function (formContext, teamGuid, gridName, entityName) {

	var phase = formContext.getAttribute("cr047_phase").getValue();

 formContext.ui.setFormNotification("team: " + teamGuid + " phase:" + phase + " gridname:" + gridName + " entity:" + entityName, "INFO", "_myUniqueId");

	var FetchXml = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>" +
	"<entity name='" + entityName + "'>" +
		"<attribute name='cr047_project' />" +
		"<filter type='and'>" +
			"<condition attribute='cr047_phase' operator='eq' value='" + phase + "' />" +
			"<condition attribute='cr047_team' operator='eq' value='" + teamGuid + "' />" +
		"</filter>" +
	"</entity>" +
	"</fetch>";


	var gridContext = formContext.getControl(gridName);
	gridContext.setFilterXml(FetchXml);
	formContext.getControl(gridName).refresh();

};

    Hi @Rydman ,

     

    Could you try this:

    var Sdk = window.Sdk || {};

Sdk.SubGridFilterExecution = function (executionContext, team) {


	var teamGuid;
	var gridNo;

	// The GUIDS mapped here can be found in the cr047_GeothermalProjectTeam table, column cr047_GeothermalProjectTeamId
	switch(team) {
	 	case "resource":
	 		teamGuid = "22db93c2-3bc2-ec11-983f-6045bd948406";
	 		gridNo = "1"
			break;

	 	case "bd":
	 		teamGuid = "23db93c2-3bc2-ec11-983f-6045bd948406";
	 		gridNo = "2"
			break;

	 	case "project":
	 		teamGuid = "24db93c2-3bc2-ec11-983f-6045bd948406";
	 		gridNo = "3"
			break;

	 	case "all":
	 		teamGuid = "d2439bd2-b1c7-ec11-a7b6-000d3aad0e38";
	 		gridNo = "4"
			break;

		default:
	}

	var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_objectives_" + gridNo, "cr047_objective");
	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_decisions_" + gridNo, "cr047_decision");
	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_deliverables_" + gridNo, "cr047_deliverable");
	SubGridFilter(formContext, teamGuid, "Subgrid_tasks_" + gridNo, "cr047_task");

};


SubGridFilter = function (formContext, teamGuid, gridName, entityName) {

	var phase = formContext.getAttribute("cr047_phase").getValue();

 formContext.ui.setFormNotification("team: " + teamGuid + " phase:" + phase + " gridname:" + gridName + " entity:" + entityName, "INFO", "_myUniqueId");

	var FetchXml = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>" +
	"<entity name='" + entityName + "'>" +
		"<attribute name='cr047_project' />" +
		"<filter type='and'>" +
			"<condition attribute='cr047_phase' operator='eq' value='" + phase + "' />" +
			"<condition attribute='cr047_team' operator='eq' value='" + teamGuid + "' />" +
		"</filter>" +
	"</entity>" +
	"</fetch>";


	var gridContext = formContext.getControl(gridName);
	gridContext.setFilterXml(FetchXml);
	formContext.getControl(gridName).refresh();

};

    Hi,

     

    That did the trick, thanks! I had failed to prefix the function name with "Sdk.". I added it to both my functions, and called the second from within the first prefixed by "Sdk.".

     

    I assume I could replace "Sdk" with a namespace name of my choice?

     

    Cheers!

    Hi @Rydman ,

     

    Yes, you could customize the namespace.
