Exporting Javascript Function

[kaffimunster]

Hello!

I have been trying to follow the documentation to create my own script. However, even replicating the example in the documentation does not work for me. Regardless of the function export I get this error in console: Template parsing error, aborting. tp.user.myFunction is not a function

In addition to what is mentioned in the documentation, I have tried:

exports.myFunction = function(tp, tr){
    const t = tp.file.tile;
    const s = t.substring(0, 20);

    tR += s;
}

// and also 

function myFunction(tp, tR) {
    const t = tp.file.tile;
    const s = t.substring(0, 20);

    tR += s;
}
module.exports = myFunction;

Hi,
I've noted found several issues:

1. It is tp.file.title not tp.file.tile
2. I think we can only pass tp to the function, we can't pass tR. (Idk why.)
3. In your template, call the script instead of the function. So if you have a script called my_script.js, in your template, do <%* tp.user.my_script(tp);%> instead of <%* tp.user.myFunction(tp);%>. (The documentation got it wrong. Don't put there.

Try this:

In your template, do:
<%* tR += tp.user.my_script(tp);%>
In my_script.js, do:

function my_function(tp) {
    const t = tp.file.title;
    const s = t.substring(0, 20);
    return s;
}
module.exports = my_function;

Hope that helps!
