clientscript triggered inside suitlet

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that a Client Script can be triggered inside a Suitelet in NetSuite. However, this is not a straightforward process and requires specific steps to be followed. Here's a general approach: 1. In your User Event Script's

beforeLoad

function, add a button to the form and specify the path to the client script with the function(s) in it. You can use

form.addButton

to add a button and

form.clientScriptModulePath

to specify the client script.

javascript
const printButton = form.addButton({
    id: "custpage_custom_button1",
    label: "Something",
    functionName: "callSuitlet",
});
form.clientScriptModulePath = "./OpenSuiteClientScript.js";

2. In your Client Script, define the function that should be executed when the button is clicked. This function should be separate from

pageInit

and returned like any other entry point function.

javascript
function callSuitlet() {
    try {
        log.debug("this is firing", suiteletUrl);
        // call the suitelet
        const suiteletUrl = url.resolveScript({
            scriptId: "customscript1197",
            params: {},
            returnExternalUrl: false,
        });
        // load the suitelet in the browser
        window.open("<https://www.google.com>");
    } catch (e) {
        log.error({ title: "error in callSuitelet", details: e });
    }
}
return {
    callSuitlet: callSuitlet
};

Please note that you do not need to deploy the client script if it's only providing button function functionality. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
