Extensible Framework - Create custom Constant / Utils class - Infor EAM CLOUD SaaS

Legacy Contributor

Hello,

I hope you are well.

I'm new to Infor EAM and have a quick question.
Is it possible to create a global utility class that can be used in any screen or is it possible to write javascript code?

For information, our application is hosted on the cloud.

Small example of what I would like to do:

Javascript of a screen:

Ext.define ("EAM.custom.external_fojobs",
{
    extend: "EAM.custom.AbstractExtensibleFramework",
    getSelectors: function ()
    {
      EAM.custom.Utils.myConstant;
    }
}

Global class:

const myConstant = "Constant test";

Ext. Of fine ('EAM.custom.Utils',
{
  extend: "EAM.utils.Utils",
  alternateClassName: 'Custom.Utils',
  statics:
   {
      getMyConstant ()

      {
         return myConstant;
      }  
}

Thanks

EF only works in the context of a Single Screen. So you would have to add this code to every screen that you would like to access these "Constants".

Next you'd have to store the data some where for reuse. The best place would be in the database somewhere.  Depending on what the context of the data is you'll likely want to store it in a UDF on some table.  If the data is specific to a user you can store it on R5USERS or on a User Defined Screen (Tab) tied to the user. You could also associate to the employee in R5PERSONNEL. If the data needs to be tied to the Session, I'd create a UDS and store the data there with the session as a key.

I hope this helps.
