SuiteScript N/runtime Module

Using N/runtime Module

SuiteScript N/runtime module accesses runtime information.

Introduction to SuiteScript N/runtime Module

The SuiteScript N/runtime module is a powerful tool for accessing runtime information about your NetSuite environment. This module provides details such as the current user, execution context, and script deployment parameters. Understanding how to use the N/runtime module is crucial for developing efficient and context-aware SuiteScript applications.

Key Features of the N/runtime Module

  • Current User Information: Retrieve details about the currently logged-in user.
  • Execution Context: Access the context in which the script is running, such as 'userinterface', 'webservices', etc.
  • Script Parameters: Fetch parameters configured for the current script deployment.
  • Feature Availability: Determine if specific NetSuite features are enabled.

Accessing Current User Information

You can access details about the current user, such as their ID, role, and name, using the getCurrentUser() function from the N/runtime module. This is particularly useful for customizing the user experience based on specific user attributes.

Determining the Execution Context

The getCurrentScript() function allows you to determine the execution context of your script. This information can help you tailor the script's behavior depending on whether it's running in a user interface, web services, or other context.

Retrieving Script Parameters

Script parameters are essential for making your SuiteScript customizable and adaptable. Use the getCurrentScript() method to retrieve parameters set for your script deployment.

Checking Feature Availability

You can check if specific NetSuite features are enabled using the isFeatureInEffect() function. This is particularly useful when your script relies on certain features being active.

Conclusion

The SuiteScript N/runtime module is essential for accessing runtime information in your NetSuite scripts. By effectively utilizing this module, you can create more robust, context-aware applications that enhance user experience and functionality. Whether it's accessing user information, determining execution contexts, retrieving script parameters, or checking feature availability, the N/runtime module provides the necessary tools to optimize your SuiteScript development.
