Core JavaScript features
Integrate your JavaScript code with the basic functions of your AppMachine app. This page discusses the available functions and possible errors that lie at the basis of each JavaScript block.
Get the current name of the block.
import { getBlockName } from '@myjsblock/sdk'
const myBlockName = await getBlockName();
// or
getBlockName().then(data => {
console.log(data);
});
Here is a list of errors that can be thrown when calling this function in addition to generic errors:
Error Code | Description |
|---|---|
INVALID_ARGUMENT | The 'caption' property is not defined on the block. |
Get a property by name from the current block.
import { getProperty } from '@myjsblock/sdk'
const myProperty = await getProperty('myProperty');
// or
getProperty('myProperty').then(data => {
console.log(data);
});
Name | Type | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
propertyName | String | ✅ | - |
Here is a list of errors that can be thrown when calling this function in addition to generic errors:
Error Code | Description |
|---|---|
INVALID_ARGUMENT | The provided propertyName is not found. |
Get a public URL of an image, based on the given
imageId.import { getImageUrl } from '@myjsblock/sdk'
const myImage = await getImageUrl('myImageId');
const imageElement = document.createElement('img');
imageElement.src = myImage;
document.body.appendChild(imageElement);
By default the image URL that will be returned is the URL of the image in full resolution. We recommend using fixed dimensions for the
width and height options when using high resolution images. This also improves performance and saves bandwidth.import { getImageUrl } from '@myjsblock/sdk'
const myImage = await getImageUrl('myImageId', {
width: 300,
height: 300
});
const imageElement = document.createElement('img');
imageElement.src = myImage;
document.body.appendChild(imageElement);
It is also possible to use multiple image resolution depending on the device resolution or pixel density using image src sets. Read MDN guide for more information.
import { getImageUrl } from '@myjsblock/sdk'
const myImageId = 'a181f12c-3116-11e5-80d0-00155d130a43';
const imageSourceDimensions = {
'300w': [280, 210],
'768w': [748, 561],
'1280w': [1260, 945]
};
const imageSourcePromises = Object.values(imageSourceMap).map(([width, height]) => getImageUrl('myImageId', { width, height }));
const imageSourceUrls = await Promise.all(imageSourcePromises);
const imageSourceMap = Object.entries(imageSourceDimensions).map(([viewPortWidth], dimensionIndex) => [viewPortWidth, imageSourceUrls[dimensionIndex]]);
// Returns array of e.g. ['300w', 'https://myasseturl...']
const sourceSet = imageSourceMap.map(([viewPortWidth, imageUrl]) => `${imageUrl} ${viewPortWidth}`).join(', ');
const imageElement = document.createElement('img');
const defaultImage = imageSourceMap[0][1]; // Smallest image
imageElement.src = defaultImage;
imageElement.srcset = sourceSet;
document.body.appendChild(imageElement);
