OIC and Javascript

OIC and Javascript

Ø  Javascript can be used to perform additional level of validations or business validations. This post will provide some basic understanding on how to use a Javascript.

1.       First create a Javascript File, a filename with ‘.js’ extension. There can be more than one functions but during registration there should be atleast one function.

2.       Configure the metadata in the library. The function can then be used in the integration.

Ø  Datatypes supported by OIC for calling Javascript function-

1.       String, Number, Boolean and Return

Ø  What to do if the Javascript input is an Array.  

1.       Create a function using input as a string. Convert the string into array using the below –
function myArrayProcessor(myArray) {
                var status = 'FAILED';
                var data = myArray.replace(/'/g, '"');
                myArray = JSON.parse(data);
     for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) {}
  return status;}

Ø  From the integration pass the array as a string to the Javascript function. The input string will be parsed as an array in the Javascript function itself.

1.       If there are more than 1 Javascript files. Then create a Jar file and register in OIC.

Ø  To debug Javascript code use an instance of CXConsole() like in the sample code below.

2.       var console = new CXConsole();
console.log("# Variable: ", variable);

Ø  OIC has a javascript function thread execution duration of 1500ms. OIC automatically cancels the thread which runs beyond 1500ms.
