I just noticed that the following function is not working as the documentation says in the ICN JavaScript model. Actually it can not be used with a document path.
retrieveItem(itemIdOrPath, itemRetrievedCallback, templateID, version, vsId, objectStoreId, action)
Sometimes you need to use an external JavaScript libraries in your plugin, because you don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Problem is that often those libraries are not Dojo modules. So how to use them in your dojo class?
Well that’s simple, dojo provides an generic script injection mechanism. Everything declared in the external script will be available in your class. Code is the following:
require(["http://host.com/stuff.js"], function(){
// Everything declared in stuff.js is available here
});
You can link to an http location, or relative location into your project, for instance /application/stuff.js.
Now how to use that in your plugin? You can place your JavaScript file in another application or a CDN to refer it with an http protocole, example:
require(["http://host.com/application/stuff.js"], function(){
// Everything declared in stuff.js is available here
});
Or you can leave the file in your plugin so everything is embedded when you deploy:
require(["plugin/MyPluginID/getResource/jszip/zip.js"], function () {
// Here I can use the variable zip
});
