    Article: AN0002166Updated: 17.12.2019

    Following examples show particular possibilities of programming in ObjectGears system using JavaScript.

    For further information to JavaScript language we recommend web https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp.

     

    Text strings

    Texts are written in single or double quotations: "John Dew" or 'John Dew'.

    Escape characters

    JavaScript is using an escape character of backslash (\), which allows us to interprete special characters (e.g. simple or double quotations used to encapsulate texts) as usual characters. That will emable e.g. to use quotes or apostrophe inside texts etc. If we have inside texts the backslash character itself (e.g. when comparing domain name Domain\Username), we have to double it (in our example Domain\\Username).

    More about special signs in https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_strings.asp.

    Comments

    Single line comments starts with //.

    Example:

    var y = 3 // declaring y and giving it value 3

    Multi line comments begin with /* end end with */.

    Example:

    /*

    This is a comment

    to the following code...

    */.

    You can use comments also to deactivate parts of your code.
