Way to pass an array to a global script function

[marco_jehle]

Hi everybody,

Within Lumira designer I'm trying to pass an array to a global script function as an input parameter, but I don't find an possibility to set the parameter as an array.

There are two workarounds I can think of:

1.) passing a string separated by comma and rebuilt it, but then I also have to create this string when calling the function.

2.) create a global variable as an array and adress it. But in my opinion this is not a good way to code.

Do you have any ideas on this?

To create a typed array, you must fill it with something - else the type system can't detect the type. Afterwards you can remote the unnecessary content:

var iconArray = [ICON_1]; // Initialize the array with dummy entry of correct type
iconArray.pop();

The same trick works for all typed array - as long as you have at least one sample element.

Did you found any solution for your problem?

Would be great to know, how to create typed arrays.

Hi Marco,

What version of Lumira Designer are you running? In Lumira Designer 2.1 it is certainly possible to define array parameters for global script functions as shown in the screenshot below:

Oh! *facepalm*

I was only looking at the variable typ, I missed the array column.

Thank you very much for your quick reply!

You're welcome. I suspected that might be the case 🙂

Hey Mustafa,

maybe you can help me again with this arrays.

I have function into which I pass an array of Icons and an icon to be removed from this array.

Return type of the function should be the "cleansed" Array.

How can I define the resultArray to be type of Icon?
