Using JS libraries

Apidog supports the utilization of both built-in and non-built-in JavaScript class libraries within scripts.

Built-In JS Class Libraries

You can use the built-in JS library in Apidog using require.

Non-Built-In JS Class Libraries

You can introduce numerous other libraries that are not built-in but have been made available on npm dynamically using the $$.liveRequire function. Only pure js libraries are supported, preferably libraries with the word browser written to support browser-side operation. Libraries containing language extensions such as C/C++ are not supported for loading and will run out of time or exceptions.

TIP

You need to download JS libraries from the network for non-built-in libraries. Therefore, you must be connected to the Internet. There will be a performance loss to downloading libraries on the run. Therefore, we recommend using built-in JS libraries first.

Built-in NodeJS modules

Usage

Assign a variable to the corresponding module before using it.

TIP

You can only require the entire module when using a built-in library; you cannot require a library submodule.

// A correct example.
var cryptoJs = require("crypto-js");
console.log(cryptoJs.SHA256("Message"));

// A wrong example.
var SHA256 = require("crypto-js/sha256");
console.log(SHA256("Message"));
