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 Block Name

Get the current name of the block.

import { getBlockName } from '@myjsblock/sdk'

const myBlockName = await getBlockName();

// or

getBlockName().then(data => {  
    console.log(data);
});

Errors

Here is a list of errors that can be thrown when calling this function in addition to :

Get Property

Get a property by name from the current block.

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);

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);
