Expand Inline possibility in input parameters on Javascript element

I would like to have the possibility, as exists for the SQL Advanced Queries, to insert JS code dynamically into a JS logic.

So, the possibility would be to create something like:

Console.$parameter.ExpandInlineAction($parameter.Text)

With $parameter.ExpandInlineAction being 'log' or 'count' to be interpreted as part of the JS code, so we would have the 'Expand Inline' set to true.

And with $parameter.Text being a text like '' or 'show this on console log' as a text, with 'Expand Inline' set to false.

Hi,

Why not use the javascript Eval() function for that?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your comment, I know that eval is a solution, but I would like to have this feature in the platform itself... It seems to be pretty easy to implement and helpful :)

Why? All OutSystems will do is call eval()

I would say it would be easier for all developers to implement it.

Then, I think it would be useful to monitor when a dynamic javascript inline is created or used, for the OutSystems Platform to notify the developers with a warning as it happens on SQL expand inline parameters. Without having that someway hidden.

What do you think?

OutSystems could still generate a TrueChange warning, or ArchDash finding if people use the javascript eval() function. I still fail to see what the build in function that you propose does different or extra than that the eval function does.

I agree with those highlights on TrueChange and on Architecture Dahsboard, Daniel.

It can be seen as a part of this one, or as a whole if no one sees value on this. In my opinion it still makes sense as a whole :)

But thanks once again for you attention to this and your always valid opinions, we disagree on part of this one, for sure we agree on many others!
