Execute JavaScript from rules: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:03, 7 July 2020

Warning

Work in progress! We are in the process of updating the information on this page. Subject to change.

The Resco platform offers two main options for adding business logic to your projects:

Rules which represent the no-code approach for simpler use cases
Resco JavaScript Bridge that allows you to write custom scripts to modify UI, data, and access additional functions

The option to execute scripts directly from rules combines these two options. It aims to simplify writing JavaScript for Mobile CRM by removing the need for boilerplate code, and it should open path for creating reusable JavaScript libraries with additional functionality for Resco mobile apps, e.g., additional math, date, or string operations, and also business logic.

For now, this option is supported for form rules

Offline HTML

Some prep work is necessary in the Offline HTML section of Woodford. TBD

Adding the function calls to rules

TBD
