Global Script functions in a library [message #728031] Thu, 22 September 2011 12:30 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to put a collection of useful JavaScript functions in a library such that I can keep the source in one place and link the library object into my various reports. This way I can edit the functions in one place and automatically get the changes throughout my reports. However I haven't been able to find a place or element within a library where I can put a JavaScript function and be able to access it throughout my report.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

Why not just create a global.js file and put it in the resource folder.
In the report design add the global.js as a resource and the functions
in the global.js can then be used.

This is working great. One question though, how do I reference a function from this file in a beforeGeneration chart script exit... it doesn't seem to find it directly and I can't find the magic incantation to provide the context?

Mike,

You are correct. Can you open a bug to simplify this. There may be an
easier way, but the only one I know is: Where getMyValue is my function
in my global js.

icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().evaluate("getMyValue()")
