Zebra Aurora Focus User Guide

Using the JavaScript Editor

The Aurora Focus JavaScript Editor consists of menu bar, control bar, code editor and console.

JavaScript Editor UI Elements
	UI Element	Description
	Top Navigation Menu	The top navigation menu provides access to File , Edit , and View functions for the application. Open an existing file with JavaScript code and save JavaScript to an external file from the File menu. JavaScript by default is saved in job file when saving a whole job or deploying a job to the device. Use templates and snippets to quickly develop new JavaScript code that is specific to your use case from the Edit menu. Adjust editor font size from the View menu.
	Run Job	Click Run Job on the control bar to validate test code in the editor by running a job on an image in the Filmstrip in Aurora Focus. You can also trigger a job by pressing F5 while in the editor.
	Script Formatting	Disable JavaScript formatting by using the Script Formatting toggle in top-right corner of the editor window.

Press F1 while inside the editor for a list of all functionalities.

Use IntelliSense for script recommendations to enable code-completion. When a function has JSDoc documentation, the editor assumes its variable types and provides a recommendation for object properties. IntelliSense is also useful for standard JavaScript interfaces like JSON or Date. It is recommended to keep JSDoc comments for the

onResult

function. This is necessary to receive recommendations for input and output objects.

The console below the code editor displays logs. The log icon and color change depending on the log category. For example, warnings are on a yellow background, errors and result object.

Console Log UI Elements
UI Element	Description
	Save the console logs to a file or clear the console.
	Minimize the console.

Only the latest 100 entries display on the console, older ones are automatically deleted.

The code editor is powered by Monaco Editor that uses Visual Studio Code and integrates functionalities such as formatting, undo/redo, renaming symbols and find & replace. The following code snippet is a basic script that copies the first detected barcode from the first tool to the output.


/** Returns the OutputResult type object
* @param {InputResult} inputResult
* @returns {OutputResult}
*/
export function onResults(inputResult) {
return {
 common: inputResult.tool_results[0].decodes[0].value

};
}
