Description
Adds an Evaluate function.The function will take string parameter and evaluate the result in FileMaker. Result is returned as text to JavaScript.
For increased security we prefer all FileMaker developers define their own function name, so if you get some foreign JavaScript, it can't know the function name and mess with FileMaker.
Examples
Evaluate something with FileMaker in JavaScript:
Set Variable [ $js ; Value: MBS( "JS.New" ) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "JS.AddFileMakerEvaluateFunction"; $js; "FMEval") ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "Result" ; MBS( "JS.Evaluate"; $JS; " \"got AccountName: \" + FMEval(\"Get(AccountName)\")" ) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "JS.Release"; $JS ) ]
Create a JavaScript Environment with a FMEval function:
Set Variable [ $$JS ; Value: MBS("JS.New") ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "JS.AddFileMakerEvaluateFunction"; $$js; "FMEval") ]
