How can I add a JavaScript file reference (as dll file in .NET) into my D365 FO project?

Posted on by Arif Hussain 155
Hi experts,

I want to add a reference to a JavaScript file like the way we add dll file of .NET in D365FO. Is it possible? if yes, how can we do that? 

Actually, I have written my logic, consider a method in a JavaScript file and I want to call that method in my D365FO.

I will be thankful to you.

Regards,
Arif

    As I said, it's sounds like a completely wrong idea to me. If you want to call JavaScript code from F&O, run it it somewhere else, such as in an Azure Function. Inside F&O, you can use either X++ or .NET Assemblies, not JavaScript.
     
    A place where F&O uses JavaScript is on the client side, i.e. in web browsers. It means that you can use it when developing extensible controls, but not to mix it with X++ on server side.

    Sir Martin Dráb,

    I have completed it in .NET and it meets my requirements and for that I am really thankful to you. And know I am trying to learn if in future I have any requirements like these doing any integration with any JavaScript or other than .NET language then how can I do that. I first thought I can do the same way like .NET but I got stuck and it's really a new thing for me to learn. I also tried creating a resource and adding my JavaScript file there but I do not know how to use that. Please suggest me with your best knowledge.

    Hmm, so you have a solution that you can use in X++ (through .NET Interop), but you decided not to use it and rather to rewrite it in JavaScript, which you then can't use from X++. Why? It sounds like investing time to artificially create a dead end.

    I am waiting for your kind response.

    Sir Martin Dráb,

    Suppose, I have the same requirement of integrating with a third-party website which verify an invoice which you already answered in the below link mentioned but it is in .NET dll file

    https://community.dynamics.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=c061ef80-2747-ee11-be6d-6045bdebe084

    Now, I have written the same code in JavaScript file which contains a method with a parameter as object. So, now I have to access that file in D365FO directly without accessing any .NET code.

    Please suggest to your best understanding.

    Thanks and regards,

    Arif Hussain

    If you want to use JavaScript through .NET Interop, you'll have to compile JavaScript to CIL. As far as I know, no such a compiler exists, therefore it's not a good idea.
     
    There are ways how to use JavaScript from C#, but if you ask me, you shouldn't be doing such things. Either use a CLI language or implement this thing in JavaScript as a separate component.
     
    It may be more efficient if you explain your business requirements to us, so we can help you to design a solution that is technically possible.

    Sir Bharani Preetham, 

    I have found how to access that resource like this. 
      
    internal final class JavaScriptTestJob
{
    public static void main(Args _args)
    {
        ResourceNode textFileResourceNode = SysResource::getResourceNode(resourceStr(JavaScriptResource));

    }
}

    Now, I have a method in my JavaScript file with a parameter and I have to call that from D365FO x++ and pass an argument. How can I do that?

    I really appreciate your prompt response. Can you please let me know how to use that resource in my code? I am trying to access it like the below image but it's showing me an error.

    You can create a resource in which you can place the javascript file. For reference of this, you can check extensible controls. There javascript file will be used as a resource.
