05/23/2023, 9:45 PMDoes anyone know if its possible to either export all record/field info from the Records Catalog as csv/json/etc, or fetch that data using some API? I am looking into building a tool/library that generates typescript type definitions for records, and would need some way of programmatically getting all the records/fields. (Custom records/fields are super easy, you can get that with a search in NetSuite, but I'm not sure what the best way would be for native stuff)

Will leave this here in case someone else finds this useful/has any other ideas

05/23/2023, 9:51 PMNFT takes the approach that just defines the built-in records once and includes them as base classes in the library.

05/23/2023, 9:53 PMWe use it for all our scripts, have been for many years. It makes SuiteScript feel like sane TypeScript 101, and results in fewer bugs and often 1/3 the code 🙂

05/23/2023, 9:54 PMWell, I suppose you can give NFT a try.
