While they're not going through full scripts, that's exactly the series of articles/videos I'm going through in Effective SuiteScript right now > "Here's the 1.0 version, and here's the 2.0 version right beside it"

In your whole time in the position, have you had down time to go learn something new?

Hah, god no

I'm a one person department that should probably be a three person department... I keep my head above water and that's about it. 😉

I'm Tier 1 support, the developer, and attend meetings in a director-like capacity, who has time to learn things?

Right, so probably unlikely it will be any different for your 2.0 transition 🙂

It's an interesting problem too, because I need to find a week to change the way I approach writing scripts, because the stuff I need to do for ASC606 should be using M/R and something that won't eventually get deprecated when NS is annoyed I'm still coding in SS1

but then I'm looking at hundreds-to-thousand-line scripts as opposed to 15 line ones.

I always tell my students who are already SS devs to start their 2.0 transition by taking a small 1.0 script they wrote and converting it

To be honest, my long-term goal to learning SS2 is to just transition out of my role into a mangerial one. 🙂

large scripts are overwhelming, too much going on and too many potential drastic changes

the smaller the script, the more direct the conversion will be

any way, if you want to check out the articles/videos: https://stoic.software/effective-suitescript/ Each video is <15min, and the articles are essentially just transcriptions of the videos. Maybe squeeze in one a week 🙂

@User uploaded a file:

I will even suppress my initial reaction that this just seems like so much typing. 🙂

^ definitely a common complaint (that I share) with 2.0. However, most IDEs that you would use have some sort of snippet/templating feature taht helps you cut down on the typing you have to do

so you can mitigate the verbosity a bit

That is where modules CAN come into play if you are so inclined. Instead of writing out the search logic every time, you can have a search module that you just call search with your columns and filters. I haven't gone that far as it may be overengineering but you CAN.

I can take your 1.0 scripts -> 2.0 for a small fee 😄

as a side note, taking scheduled scripts -> map reduce scripts has reduced the amount of code by about 50% if anyone wants some metrics. It really depends on how your 1.0 scripts are written but that has been my experience so far with converting.

First cookbook "Basic Searching in SuiteScript" will be out this weekend. https://netsuiteprofessionals.slack.com/archives/C2NCV5S9J/p1496165883393191

Table of Contents something like: * The fundamentals of creating and executing a Search with SuiteScript * The various methods of iterating over and processing search results * How to load and execute a Saved Search in SuiteScript * How to specify Joins to related records in your search filters and columns * How to use Summaries like summing in your search results * How to create Filter Expressions for your searches * How to get the number of results for a particular search

yeah I saw that

i would add formulas in there too

sorry didn't hit enter on that one

Formulas will be the next in series "Advanced Searching in SuiteScript" 😉

maybe next weekend
