More on 360Works fmPromise:

We are now showcasing fmPromise, a brand new free tool created to improve JavaScript and FileMaker integration! Most people are aware that JavaScript in FileMaker can provide a much better UI within apps. While FileMaker 19 improved Web Viewer usage with JavaScript, 360Works is always looking for ways to build-in improvements to the FileMaker platform.

FileMaker 19 has added the ability to call FileMaker scripts from your JavaScript, as well as executing a JavaScript function from a FileMaker script. This allows for integration between FileMaker and JavaScript in your Web Viewer, but has some areas that fmPromise will make better.

 

• Every call from JavaScript to a FileMaker script needs a public JavaScript function to receive the script response, and it is the responsibility of the Script to call that function.
• All data coming back from FileMaker is a string
• Debugging JavaScript errors is very difficult without browser-based dev tools
• The window.FileMaker object is not available right when the page loads, so you need a window.setTimeout() to wait for it to become available if you want to populate your web viewer using a script call.

 

fmPromise is designed to address these shortcomings, and help you utilize Web Viewers in your solution with the minimum amount of fuss.
