Can we run Javascript without plugin ?

[JF Fortier 1]

Hi,

 

Maybe a stupid question, I have no clue, not really a JS guy. With the new FM19, can we run Javascript natively in FM without the use of the plugin ?

 

I run Win10/Server2012 and in the process of updating from FM17, I need to get rid of some old 32 bits plugins first. I created some on the function that I wanted with SMaster into a custom plugin.... but now FMS required a signed plugin, on Windows 🙄 not an easy task, for a newbie like me.

 

So can we run some basic JS code in FM19 directly and get the result ? Or we still need to run them with SMaster.

 

Thanks

Aren't you confusing Java with Javascript?

Yep! I just did some research, as I was saying, not a Java or JS person...Thanks Google I now know the difference !

 

Thanks

You can run JavaScript directly in a Webviewer via script step.

Using MBS FileMaker Plugin you can also run JavaScript, but also in any calculation and not just scripts and with WebView.Evaluate you can get a result directly.
