Using JavaScript Libraries

JavaScript libraries are blocks of code that another script can load when it needs them. To load a library you use the Core.load() function:

var lib = Core.load(Core.home + "Lib.js");
lib.f("param1", "param2"); // calls the 'f' function in Lib.js

Library scripts are stored as text files and may contain any valid JavaScript code. When JavaScript for OSA loads a library, it does the following:

1. Reads the text file
2. Compiles the library
3. Executes the library
4. Returns the result of the library script as the value of the Core.load() function

Lib.js:

function func1(p1, p2) {
    // do something with p1 and p2
}

var obj = {f:func1};
obj; // return the "loaded" object
