<h1>Client Side Scripts<a class="headerlink" href="#client-side-scripts" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<div class="section" id="introduction">
<h2>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Client side scripts are written in javascript and they are used to execute function on event triggers.
These scripts can be used to:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Manipulate views</li>
<li>Do server calls (AJAX)</li>
<li>Validate entries</li>
<li>Do calculations</li>
</ul>
<p>Client scripts can be written inside of DocType in the &#8220;Client Script&#8221; tab</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="cur-frm-object">
<h2>cur_frm Object<a class="headerlink" href="#cur-frm-object" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>All client script functions are attached to the cur_frm.cscript object. This object holds the functions
relating to a DocType (form)</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="onload-event">
<h2>onload event<a class="headerlink" href="#onload-event" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>onload is called when the a record is loaded for the first time. Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>cur_frm.cscript.onload = function(doc, doctype, docname) {
if(!doc.from) {
doc.from_user = user;
refresh_field('user')
}
}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="refersh-event">
<h2>refersh event<a class="headerlink" href="#refersh-event" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>refresh event is similar to the onload event. Except that it is also called each time the page is refreshed
either via a user refresh, save or otherwise.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="server-calls">
<h2>Server Calls<a class="headerlink" href="#server-calls" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>A typical use is to get/set data at server side. To do this, the framework has built-in AJAX interface using
the $c_obj (call server object) function. The typical pattern is as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>// function will be called when the server responds
var callback = function(response, responseInText) {
// set the new value
// re-assign the doc record because you are inside the callback
var doc = locals[doc.doctype][doc.docname]
doc.new_value = response.message
refresh_field('new_value');
}
// call this object on the server
$c_obj([doc], 'get_my_value', doc.based_on, callback);</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="field-level-triggers">
<h2>Field Level Triggers<a class="headerlink" href="#field-level-triggers" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>You can set functions to be called when values are changed in the form, at the &#8220;onchange&#8221; event.</p>
<p>To set a trigger, in the Field table, set the value of the Trigger column to &#8220;Client&#8221;.</p>
<p>Declare a function to be called by its fieldname:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>// attach a trigger on the "my_value" field
cur_frm.cscript.my_value = function(doc, doctype, docname) {
msgrint("My value has been changed")
// do something
}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="fetch-pattern">
<h2>Fetch Pattern<a class="headerlink" href="#fetch-pattern" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Another typical pattern is to get values based on other values, like when you select a Customer, its type and
contact info should come automatically, to do this, you can use the standard fetch pattern on link fields:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>// add_fetch(link, source_field_name, target_field_name)</pre>
</div>
<p>add_fetch(&#8216;customer&#8217;, &#8216;contact_details&#8217;, &#8216;contact_details&#8217;)</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
