Solution Model newGlobalMethod is deprecated

[tkilshaw1553613063]

In the Servoy Wiki:

https://wiki.servoy.com/display/DOCS/So ... del-Create

it gives this example:

var globalMethod = solutionModel.newGlobalMethod('function myGlobalMethod() { currentcontroller.newRecord(); }');

But in Version: 8.4.0.3402 the newGlobalMethod is shown as deprecated.

What should be used instead?

thanks,

You should also specify the name of the global scope in which the method should be added:

Code: Select all

var globalMethod = solutionModel.newGlobalMethod('yourScope', 'function myGlobalMethod() { currentcontroller.newRecord(); }');

If you don't specify a scope name, the method is added in the "globals" scope, but using that scope is discouraged, because those methods can be called using a deeplink which might be a security risk.

Also: When pressing <Alt> when hovering a deprecated method, you'll get a tooltip with an @deprecated tag explaining what to use instead:

Note that using currentcontroller is also deprecated
