Welcome to Javascript
Introduction
In order to allow for complex message processing and applying custom business logic to message handling, layline.io provides the Javascript Asset. This asset enables you to apply theoretically any kind of scriptable logic when handling messages.
Popular examples are:
- Data analysis
- Enrichment
- Statistics gathering
- Complex mapping
- Filtering
and potentially anything you can imagine when handling data.
Using the Javascript Asset is not mandatory of course. Many challenges you may be facing can be accomplished using the out-of-the-box Assets whcih layline.io provides without resorting to Javascript. But in many instances, an intermittent scripting processor inserted into a Workflow can go a long way in enabling you to execute logic which would be otherwise hard to implement using pure UI elements.
On this page we will explain how to use Javascript with the Javascript Asset.
