Javascript

All scripts are written in Javascript. See here for an introduction to Javascript.

Current user

The current user is available in all scripts as the object named 'actionUser':

var userMe = actionUser;

Using Java Classes

In our scripty Javascript is a wrapper around Java as the core programming language of todo4teams.

To create new variables or obj́ects from Java classes there are several options:

• Simply use the new operator:
  var s = new java.lang.String();
• Declare the Java type in Javascript first and then create the object:

  var StringArray = Java.type("java.lang.String[]");
  var values = new StringArray(2);

• Use the helper object (available in all script contexts)

  •  

  to create new objects:
  var x = helper.createInstance('com.mycompany.types.MyBusinessObject');

  •  

  or to create arrays in one line:
  var x = helper.createArray('com.mycompany.types.MyBusinessObject', 20);

• xxx

Accessing common business objects of todo4teams

The helper object offers access to common business objects e.g. the list of users in todo4teams:

var users = helper.getUsers(); // array of all users

var user = helper.getUserById(23);

var user2 = helper.getUserByUserName("jsmith");
