JavaScript Extensions

The JavaScript processor implements the following methods that are not defined in standard JavaScript. You can use these extensions in any location where the Script accepts a JavaScript expression.

Most of the functions are JavaScript implementations of transformers or actions.

extra.sum(number1, number 2, ...): Returns the sum of the parameters.
extra.allSame(param1, param2, ...): Returns true if all the parameters have the same value.
lookup.<lookup_name>(key): This function accesses a global lookup table by name.

In the Script, define a global
InlineTable
or
XMLLookupTable
. Then, in a JavaScript expression, you can access the table. For example, if you define a global
InlineTable
called
USPresidents
,
lookup.USPresidents(1)
returns
George Washington
.

For more information, see LookupTransformer.
extra.formatDate(date, input_format, output_format): Formats a date or time. For more information, see DateFormatICU.
extra.substitute(text, oldSubstring, newSubstring, useRegex): Replaces all instances of a substring with another substring. If
useRegex
is true, the method interprets
oldSubstring
as a regular expression.
extra.formatNumber(number, size_of_integer_part, number_of_decimals, sign, insert_decimal_point, unit_type): Formats a number. For more information, see FormatNumber.
extra.insertString(text, injections_place, string_to_inject): Inserts a string into the text. For more information, see InjectString.
extra.formatTransformationStartTime(format): Outputs the date and/or time at which the transformation started running. For more information, see TransformationStartTime.
extra.resize(text, size, padding_character, align): Fits the input text to a specified size, padding or truncating as required. For more information, see Resize.
extra.dateAdd(date_format, date, days_to_add): Increments a date by a given number of days. For more information about the
date_format
, see DateFormatICU.
extra.dateAddMonths(date_format, date, months_to_add): Increments a date by a given number of months. For more information about the
date_format
, see DateFormatICU.
extra.dateAddYears(date_format, date, years_to_add): Increments a date by a given number of years. For more information about the
date_format
, see DateFormatICU.
extra.dateDiff(date_format1, date1, date_format2, date2): Computes the difference between two dates. For more information, see DateDiffICU.
extra.createGuid(0): Generates a GUID identifier. For more information, see CreateGuid. You must supply a parameter value such as 0.
extra.upper(text) , extra.lower(text) , extra.capitalize(text): Changes the text to all upper case, all lower case, or only the first letter capitalized. For more information, see ChangeCase
extra.rtl2ltr(text): Reverses a string written in a right-to-left language to left-to-right. For more information, see hebrewBidi.
extra.trim(text): Deletes leading and trailing space characters from the text. For more information, see RemoveMarginSpace.
