<@U5375UUJ2> let an const work in user event scripts!? i didn't know that.

I use TypeScript for everything so yes, const works

I used to have three separate client scripts doing each checkbox. But moved to a UE for use on CSV on before submit.

you might also take a look at `_.cond()` karl

I'll have to have a rethink tomorrow as it looks too messy.

as a side note, referring to earlier chat, there is no reason to assume that just because something works client-side that it will work (unchanged) serverside in netsuite, since it's different runtime JS

I believe NS remains Rhino on the backend, which is a somewhat ES5 compliant environment

I've got underscore setup for use in map reduce so may utilise that.

I highly recommend **lodash** over **underscore**

underscore doesn't even have the `_.cond` (conditional) function

I'm going to need to train myself more on JS.

meh, if you're coming from some other language, especially something strongly typed I'd recommend just skipping to TypeScript and be happier.

Startwd from scratch with SS2.0 2 years ago.

ah, well SS2.0 lends itself even more to TypeScript IMHO

also it seems that `underscore` hasn't had a release in almost 3 years.... I'd consider it rather dead.

Do you have previous programming experience, or is JS your first language?

<@U5375UUJ2> You can use `lodash` instead....

karl assumed I was talking about underscore when I mentioned `_.cond()`

well, at least JS is a simple language to pick up

A couple years from now, you'll look back at the code you wrote today and laugh.
