Reusable JS Routines called from ProfoundAPI

[csharpest]

As the first step of my Profound API I want to write a custom node step to run reusable routines...

Code: Select all

function runValidations(request, response) 
{
   var validator = require(validators.js");
   if (!validator.customerIsValid(request)) {
      //set failure variable
   } else {
      //set success variable
   }
}

In the same folder I have the validators.js file...

Code: Select all

function customerIsValid(request) 
{
   // reusable routine to do the actual validation
}
export default customerIsValid;

Is this possible? I am getting errors running the tester about module not being found:

Code: Select all

{
  "error": {
    "code": "MODULE_NOT_FOUND",
    "requireStack": [
      "c:\\Projects\\TestProjects\\ProfoundJS\\modules\\valTests\\...
     ],
    "message": "Cannot find module 'validators.js'  Require stack:  -

This means that the file was not found within the server pathlist property.
1) You show that the module file "validators.js" is within a folder named "valTests" under the modules folder.
In the server configuration file (config.js), there is a pathlist property.
Ensure that folder is within that array, if not add it and restart the server.

2) I should also note that you should be using pjs.require("validators.js") instead of require("validators.js"). Our pjs.require API will lookup this module file based on this pathlist property.

Another way for creating reusable routines is called "Low-code Modules".
This does not create a web service but instead just the reusable logic as a module. These routines can then be consumed by Rich Display Screens, Profound APIs, as well as RPG programs.
