Alert

An alert interface for displaying information to the user, blocking further interaction until the alert is dismissed.

Constructors

new Alert(title: String, message: String) → Alert

Create a new alert panel with the given title and text contents.

Instance Functions

function show(callback: Function(‍option: Number‍) or null) → Promise of Number

Displays the alert. If no options have yet been added, a default “OK” option is added. Once the user selects an option, the alert is dismissed. If a callback function was supplied, it is invoked with the zero-based index of the selected option as its argument. A Promise is returned as well, which may also be used to collect the result of the Alert.

function addOption(string: String)

Adds an option button to the alert.

Application

Instance Functions

function openDocument(from: Document or null, url: URL, completed: Function(‍documentOrError: Document or Error, alreadyOpen: Boolean‍))

Attempts to open the specified document and return a reference to it asynchronously. If the document is already open, the reference is passed along. Note that due to platform sandboxing restrictions, opening the document may fail if the application doesn’t have currently permission to access the given URL. The document, if any, that is associated with the calling script can be passed along to help grant permission to open the new document. The passed in function will be passed two argument. The first will be either either the Document or an Error. On success, the second argument is a Boolean specifying whether the document was already open.

Instance Properties

For backwards compatibility with existing scripts, this returns the same result as buildVersion.versionString. We recommend using either the user-visible userVersion or the internal buildVersion instead, which are more clear about which version they’re returning and provide their results as Version objects which can be semantically compared with other Version objects.

Credentials

The Credentials class allows storage of private username and password pairs, URL.Bookmark instances, and possibly other sensitive information in the future. Instances are tied to a single plug-in and single application, and may only be created in plug-ins when they are being loaded.

For example, when a PlugIn.Action is being created, you could use the following pattern:

 (() => {
     let credentials = new Credentials();

     var action = new PlugIn.Action(function(selection) {
         // ... use the captured credentials ...
     });

     return action;

Form provides a mechanism to collect input from the user. Each form contains one or more instances of subclasses of Field, which are given a key. As the form is filled out, values object is populated with the values from the user interface.

Constructors

new Form() → Form

Instance Functions
