Scripting¶

Emakin incorporates a scripting environment that enables the creation of custom scripts to automate tasks, extend system functionalities, and facilitate integrations with external systems.

Scripting Environment¶

The scripting environment is predicated on the JavaScript programming language. JavaScript is a widely adopted language, and within Emakin, it is isolated from the underlying operating system to ensure a secure and stable execution environment.

The script execution runtime may vary depending on the script type, with scripts executing in either a server-side environment or a client-side browser environment. Further details on the specific runtime environment are provided in the documentation for each script type.

var fileId = $Xml.Evaluate('Contract/ContentFileId');
var writer = new Writer();

writer.LoadFromBase64($Files.GetBase64(fileId));

$Xml.SelectAll('Contract/Fields/Field', function (field) {

    var name = field.Evaluate('Name');
    var value = field.Evaluate('Value');

    // find %NAME% and replace with field value
    writer.Content.Replace('%' + name + '%', value);
});

$Files.SetBase64(fileId, writer.SaveToBase64(".docx"));
