oof why not just

Math.floor()

to avoid confusing situations just like this one

This is why I was a terrible C developer

@creece do you mean bitwise & is faster than && ?

nah, it's totally different.

|0

is slightly faster than

Math.floor()

but it's dangerous (in javascript)

yeah looked into it on MDN docs ... not going to use it 🙂 - this kind of code messes with all parts of my brain

it's good for some (pretty desperate, short term) job security maybe, but other than that just seems sloppy

it has no place in NetSuite really IMO

and these types of micro-optimizations are completely pointless in the SuiteScript context

Stuff like that is useful for large datasets where speed will add up and matter

when

record.load()

can take a second or two, saving some milliseconds isn't going to be appreciable

i code golf all my netsuite scripts

under 140 characters or less

Guys having trouble using external library of Crypto JS file aes.js , so i placed that file in filecabinet in same folder where the below script resides. But getting this error : TypeError Cannot read property 'CryptoJS' of undefined @mattdahse says it has to be AMD compatible and needs to export function . Can some one please share me a working example of using external crypto js

/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType ClientScript
 * @NModuleScope Public
 */define(['./aes'],
function(aes) {     
    function pageInit(scriptContext) {
         var encryptedAES = aes.CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Message", "testpassword");
         
 }

@samantha See the Help page titled

Custom Module Examples

, there's a section

Example: Add a non-AMD library

You'll have to look at

aes.js

to figure out the name of its public export

I do like some micro optimizations they are just fun sometimes... For example allow 10% more I will do:

Quantity x 1.10

instead of:

(Quantity / 100) x Quantity

Nothing special is just fun to find more efficient ways...

There's a huge difference though between enjoying to optimize code and doing it in your free-time versus spinning a bunch of work cycles that could be much more productive spent elsewhere

@alien4u but 11 is not the same as 1 unless you consider eliminating the same digit in a result an optimization! 😉 eg 10x1.1 = 11 but (10/100) x 10 = 1

@erictgrubaugh Agree, you are right... same page...

Hey all - is there any way to trigger a User Event function, only when an Invoice is created?

^ You can do it in code that way or there is a setting on the Deployment record

ive never really had a good use case to use that setting when you can just specify it in the script you're writing anyways

maybe there's one?

I use that instead of the code if I'm pretty confident it won't change

also it totally needs to be

if (context.type !-- CREATE) {
  return;
}

// do something

j/k it doesn't totally need to be that but that's the style I prefer 🙂

@samantha I used this one for AES encryption: https://code.google.com/archive/p/crypto-js/downloads, added crypto-js.js and used that in my define

right so you set it to only create on the script and then on the deployment itself.. when you could have just not checked the box on the deployment all together and still it would function the same.. not wrong just curious where there's an actual need for it
