The JavaScript API is used for mappings and for conditional subtemplates. The Document Parameter and scripting do not use this definition yet. ES5 JavaScript is supported.

Expressions

Expressions in conditions can be defined in two formats:

Expression

An expression can be specified directly, e.g. "OO('forname') + ' ' + OO('lastname')".

Main function

If a function main() exists, it is called and the return value is evaluated. This way, more complex issues can be represented, such as adapting a Swiss phone number to the international format. This would be achieved by means of a regular expression (regex) in JavaScript as follows:

function main()
{
    // normalizes all phone numbers
    // 0715110500 => +41 71 511 05 00
    // +41 71 511 05 00 => +41 71 511 05 00
    var input = OO('phonenumber').replace(/ /g, '');
    var patt = /((\+|00)41|0)([0-9]+)/;
    var matchArray = patt.exec(input);
    var number = matchArray[3];
    return  "+41 " + number.substring(0,2) + " " + number.substring(2,5)
        + " " + number.substring(5,7)+ " " + number.substring(7,9);
}

OO API object

An API object is available as OO in each case. Thereby OO(identifier) can be used as short form for OO.getValue(identifier). If an unknown key is passed, undefined is returned.

Mappings OO returns the source values. For example, OO('phone') in the interface configuration returns the value in the phone column.
Subtemplates OO each returns the values in the OneOffixx Custom XML Part, so for example OO('DocParam.Subject).
