Creating Assistant in netsuite using suitescript

Here is a sample code of a web assistant made in a suitelet.

function DemoAssistant(request, response) {

    try {

        //create an object (nlobjassistant) and store that in ‘assistant’ variable

        var assistant = nlapiCreateAssistant("Employee Registration Form");

        //set title of the assistant

        assistant.setTitle('Employee Details');

        // indicate that all steps must be completed sequentially

        assistant.setOrdered(true);

        //adding steps

        assistant.addStep('PersonalDetails', 'Set Personal Details').setHelpText("Enter your personal details");

        assistant.addStep('ContactDetails', 'Enter Contacts Details').setHelpText("Enter your contact details");

        assistant.addStep('EmployementDetails', 'Enter Employement Details').setHelpText("Enter your employement details");

        assistant.addStep('Finished', 'Registration Completed');

        //setting actions

        if (request.getMethod() == 'GET') {

            if (!assistant.isFinished()) {

                if (assistant.getCurrentStep() == null) {

                    assistant.setCurrentStep(assistant.getStep("PersonalDetails"));

                    //add splash screen

                    assistant.setSplash("Welcome!", "Enter your details");

                }

                var step = assistant.getCurrentStep();

                //display part

                if (step.getName() == 'PersonalDetails') {

                    assistant.addField("custpage_firstname", "text", "First Name");

                    assistant.addField("custpage_lastname", "text", "Last Name");

                }

                else if (step.getName() == 'ContactDetails') {

                    assistant.addField("custpage_phone", "phone", "Phone");

                    assistant.addField("custpage_email", "email", "E-mail");

                    assistant.addField("custpage_address", "textarea", "Address");

                }

                else if (step.getName() == 'EmployementDetails') {

                    assistant.addField("custpage_empid", "text", "Employee ID");

                    assistant.addField("custpage_companyname", "text", "Company Name");

                }

                else if (step.getName() == 'Finished') {

                    var personalDetails = assistant.getStep('PersonalDetails');

                    var contactDetails = assistant.getStep('ContactDetails');

                    var employementDetails = assistant.getStep('EmployementDetails');                   

                    //fetching values from previous steps

                    var firstName = personalDetails.getFieldValue('custpage_firstname');

                    var lastName = personalDetails.getFieldValue('custpage_lastname');

                    var phone = contactDetails.getFieldValue('custpage_phone');

                    var email = contactDetails.getFieldValue('custpage_email');

                    var address = contactDetails.getFieldValue('custpage_address');

                    var empId = employementDetails.getFieldValue('custpage_empid');

                    var companyName = employementDetails.getFieldValue('custpage_companyname');

                    //displaying

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displayfirstname', 'Label', "First Name : " + firstName);

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displaylastname', 'Label', "Last Name : " + lastName);

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displayphone', 'Label', "Phone : " + phone);

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displayemail', 'Label', "Email : " + email);

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displayaddress', 'Label', "Address : " + address);

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displayempid', 'Label', "Employee ID : " + empId);

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displaycompanyname', 'Label', "Company Name : " + companyName);

                    assistant.addField('custpage_displaymessage', 'Label', "Click Finish to submit");

                }

            }

            //writing to page

            response.writePage(assistant);

        }

        else {

            if (assistant.getLastAction() == "finish") {

                assistant.setFinished("You have completed");

                assistant.sendRedirect(response);

            }

            else {

                assistant.setCurrentStep(assistant.getNextStep());

                assistant.sendRedirect(response);

            }

        }

        //writing to page

        response.writePage(assistant);

    }

   

    catch (er) {

        nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','Error',er.message);

    }

}

Calling a restlet from a suitelet

I guess you are trying to call a restlet from a suitelet and pass some json object to the restlet. Here we go

Suitelet part

//url of the restlet
var url = copy the url of the restlet here...

//creating a Json object
var jsonObj = new Object();
jsonObj.fruit1 = "apple";
jsonObj.fruit2 = "mango";
var myJson = JSON.stringify(jsonObj);

//credentials
var headers = new Array();
headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';
headers['Authorization'] = 'NLAuth nlauth_email=your netsuite email id, nlauth_signature=password, nlauth_account=account id, nlauth_role=role';

To know your account id, just click here. For role, just write there '3' (for adminstrator account) , for the time being.

//calling restlet
var restletResponse = nlapiRequestURL(url, myJson, headers, null, "POST");

//getting response
var responseText = restletResponse.getBody();

you can use this responseText to get the response from restlet.
Now as we are done with suitelet, how to read this data in the restlet. Here is the code.

Restlet
//getting data from datain
var fruit1=datain.fruit1;
var fruit2=datain.fruit2;

Hope this was helpful.
Any suggestion to improve the blog are most welcomed.
