How to pass variable parameters to an XPages SSJS function?

问题

If I have a function in SSJS and I want to pass one "firm" parameter and a list of others that can change, what's the best way to do that? With some kind of hashMap or JSON or something else?

for example given something like:

myfunction( code:string, paramList:??) { // do stuff here

}

Basically the function will create a document. And sometimes I'll have certain fields I'll want to pass in right away and populate and other times I'll have different fields I will want to populate.

How would you pass them in and then parse out in the function?

Thanks!

Use the arguments parameter... In JavaScript you are not required to define any of your parameters in the function block itself. So, for example, the following call:

myFunction(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4);

can legally be passed to the following function:

myFunction () {
  // do stuff here...
}

when I do this, I usually place a comment in the parens to indicate I am expecting variable arguments:

myFunction (/* I am expecting variable arguments to be passed here */) {
  // do stuff here...
}

Then, you can access those arguments like this:

myFunction (/* I am expecting variable arguments to be passed here */) {
  if (arguments.length == 0) {
    // naughty naughty, you were supposed to send me things...
    return null;
  }

  myExpectedFirstArgument = arguments[0];

  // maybe do something here with myExpectedFirstArgument
  var whatEvah:String = myExpectedFirstArgument + ":  "

  for (i=1;i<arguments.length;i++) {
    // now do something with the rest of the arguments, one 
    // at a time using arguments[i]
    whatEvah = whatEvah + " and " + arguments[i];
  }

  // peace.
  return whatEvah;
}

Wallah, variable arguments.

But, more to the point of your question, I don't think you need to actually send variable arguments, nor go through the hassle of creating actual JSON (which is really a string interpretation of a javascript object), just create and send the actual object then reference as an associative array to get your field names and field values:

var x = {};
x.fieldName1 = value1;
x.fieldName2 = value2;
// ... etc ...

then in your function, which now needs only two parameters:

myFunction(arg1, arg2) {
   // do whatever with arg1

   for (name in arg2) {
     // name is now "fieldName1" or "fieldName2"
     alert(name + ": " + x[name]);
   }

}

Hope this helps.

I would do this with a JSON object as the second parameter...

function myfunction(code:String, data) {
   // do stuff here...
   var doc:NotesDocument = database.CreateDocument();
   if(data) {
      for (x in data) {
         doc.replaceItemValue(x, data[x]);
      }
   }
   // do more stuff
   doc.save(true, false);
}

Then you call the function like this:

nyfunction("somecode", {form:"SomeForm", subject:"Whatever",uname:@UserName()});

Happy coding.

I don't think that is possible in SSJS. I think the best option you have is to pass a hashmap or your own (java) object. I think a custom java object would be the nicest option because you can define some 'structure' on how your function can process it. A hashmap can be easily extended but it is not easy if you have a lot of code that create a lot of different hashmap structures...
