Calling a JavaScript function into a codeunit

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by M Hussnain Javed 241

Hi, how are you all doing. Hope you all are doing great. I'm looking for a way to invoke a JS function intto a codeunit.

I created a JS function that takes a Text/String parameter and also returns a Text/String value. I invoked that procedure on a page using currpage.controladdinName.JSFunctionName(txt); It's working fine on the page. 

But when I call this function in one of my codeunit then it gives an error. Can't implicitly convert from type 'None' to Text.

Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of this error. Answers will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

    Hi @Javed,

    I have another idea, you can create an HTTP azure function and host it on azure, or you can use already available API's, by making HTTP Call you can send your expression and handle the response return from the azure function which will contain the result.

    Refer to the below API, send a request with the expression and read the return response.

    https://api.mathjs.org/

    Good Luck :)

    Hi,

    I am looking for a solution to run JS directly from the codeunit object.

    I have already been using JS calls from a page, but now, I would need to call a JS from a codeunit. Is this possible?

    Maybe if you pass the ControlAddin from the page, to the CodeUnit procedure, you will be able to manage this.

    Hi Damjan Zakojc 

    JavaScript is a front-end language.

    It's not possible to use it in the codeunit. A javaScript control addin can only be called on the page like this currpage.controladdinName.JSFunctionName();
