VTAP JS

App Creator provides Javascript runtime under VTAP which provides helper APIs to interact with CRM.

VTAP.Component

Component is the representation of UI element on the page. It controls the presentation of data based on UI state.

.Core

You can create custom components by extending core component as follows:

var MyModule_Component_BasicButton = VTAP.Component.Core.extend({});

To create Settings View component for MyModule you should use:

var MyModule_Component_SettingsView = VTAP.Component.Core.extend({});

Core component has lifecycle hooks as of VueJS 2.x read more

var MyModule_Component_RegisterButton = VTAP.Component.Core.extend({
    props: {
        /* parent to this component */
    },
    data() {
        return {
            /* self data variables */
        }
    },
    components: {
        /* dependent components */
    },

    template: `<div>Custom component HTML structure</div>`,

    created() {
        /* setup listener to events (or) fetch data */
    },

    mounted() {
        /* UI element is mounted to DOM */
    }
})

.Load

VTAP.Component.Load(name, module) - Load and return Vtiger Component Object.

Parameters

namestring
modulestring

Returns

objectVtiger Component

.Find

VTAP.Component.Find(name) - Find Vtiger Component Object defined by name.

Parameters

namestring
modulestring

Returns

objectVtiger Component

.Register

VTAP.Component.Register(type, data, component, filter) - Add and Return custom component on a Page.

Parameters

typestringtype of component to be added, click here for complete list with examples.
dataobjectMany components only depend on data to show in UI, these are generally key-value pair values. See component types for examples
componentVtiger ComponentCustom component that you want to render in the UI.
filterobjectUse this when you want to restrict the component to be loaded for a particular module. For example {‘module’:’Contacts’)

Returns

objectVtiger Component

This API allows subscribing to UI Event Hooks that are emitted by core or custom components on the page. Visual representation of the hooks is shown below:

See all UI Hooks here

VTAP.View

VTAP.View() helps get the current page view name like list, detail, edit etc.

VTAP.User

VTAP.User() helps fetch the current logged in user details like first name, last name, email, profile image, isadmin etc.

Example : To display a button based on the roles of the users.

var Contacts_Component_ListViewExamples = VTAP.Component.Core.extend({
    created() {
        var userInfo = VTAP.User();
        var userRole = userInfo.roleid.label;

        // Define the roles allowed to view the button
        var allowedRoles = ['CEO','Sales Manager'];

        if (allowedRoles.includes(userRole)) {
            VTAP.Component.Register('LIST_BASIC_BUTTON', {
                label: 'Custom Page',
                clickHandler: () => {
                    window.location.href = " ";

Line Items Create, Update and Delete

To manage line items in VTAP API for updating records, you must follow a specific format when adding or deleting items. Here's how you can handle adding and deleting line items for a Quote record in VTAP API.

Creating Line Items for a new Quotes Record

  • Construct the payload: Include all the mandatory fields required for Quotes, and new line items in the payload.
  • Pass totalProductCount: The payload should include the totalProductCount parameter to indicate the number of line items.
let newRecord = {
    module: 'Quotes',
    subject: 'New Quote with Multiple Items',  
    quotestage: 'New',  
    bill_street: 'Banglore',
    ship_street: 'Banglore',
    // First line item
    hdnProductId1: '<product_record_id>',
    productName1: '<product_name>',
    comment1: '', 
    qty1: 2,  
    listPrice1: 400,   
    // Second line item 
    hdnProductId2: '<product_record_id>',
    productName2: '<product_name>',
    comment2: '', 
    qty2: 2,  
    listPrice2: 400, 
    totalProductCount: 2
}

Send Request Using VTAP Api

VTAP.Api.Post('records', newRecord, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error("Error creating record with line items:", error);
    } else {
        console.log("Record created with line items successfully:", response);
    }
});

Updating Line Items

  • Fetch existing line items: First, retrieve all existing line items for the Quote record.
  • Construct the payload: Include all existing line items in the payload, appending the new line item details sequentially.
  • Pass totalProductCount: The payload should include the totalProductCount parameter to indicate the number of line items.

Assume you already have the existing line item details

let existingLineItems = {
    hdnProductId1:’<product_record_id>’,
    productName1: '<product_name>',
    comment1: '',
    qty1: 1,
    listPrice1: 700.00
};

Add a new line item to the existing Quote record

let newLineItem = {
    hdnProductId2: ‘<product_record_id>’,
    productName2: '<product_name>',
    comment2: '',
    qty2: 5,
    listPrice2: 500.00
};

Combine existing and new line items

let params = {
    module: 'Quotes',
    id: quoteId, // replace with the actual Quote ID
    // add existingLineItems,
    // add newLineItem,
    totalProductCount: 2 // Update this count as per the total number of line items
};

Send the request using VTAP API

VTAP.Api.Put('records', params, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error("Error adding line item:", error);
    } else {
        console.log("Line item added successfully:", response);
    }
});

Update Line Items With Taxes, Charges and TaxRegions

Taxes
To update Taxes you can follow these steps :

  • Use decribe core api to fetch the specific inventory module describe details.
  • In the API response, you can locate all taxes-related information under the "taxes" key.

There are two Tax Modes that can be applied while adding line items : Group and Individual

  • For Group Tax Mode

Construct the payload

let updateRecord = {
    module: 'Quotes',
    id: '', // record ID 

    // Update line item 
    hdnProductId1: '<product_id>',
    productName1: '<product_name>',
    qty1: 1,
    listPrice1: 500,

    // additional item details 
    region_id: '1', // tax_region Id 
    taxtype: 'group', // tax-mode 
    currency_id: '1', // currency 

    // group-tax-mode values 
    tax4_group_percentage: 6, // the number 4 refers to that particular Taxes Id
    tax4_group_amount: 30,  
    tax5_group_percentage: 7, 
    tax5_group_amount: 40,
    tax6_group_percentage: 6,
    tax6_group_amount: 30,

    // total line items that are present 
    totalProductCount: 2
}

Update the record

VTAP.Api.Put('records', updateRecord, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error("Error creating record with line items:", error);
    } else {
        console.log("Record updated with line items successfully:", response);
    }
});
  • For Individual Tax Mode

Construct the payload

let updateRecord = {
    module: 'Quotes',
    id: '', // record ID

    // addtional item details
    region_id: '1', // tax_region Id
    taxtype: 'individual', // tax-mode 
    currency_id: '1', // currency


    // Existing line item
    hdnProductId1: '<product_id>',
    productName1: '<product_name>',
    qty1: 1,
    listPrice1: 500,
    // individual tax for product 1 
    tax4_percentage1: 6, // the number 4 refers to that particular Taxes Id

    // New line item 
    hdnProductId2: '616',
    productName2: 'Sugar BodyLotion',
    qty2: 1,
    listPrice2: 300,
    // individual tax for product 2
    tax4_percentage2: 6,  

    // total line items that are present 
    totalProductCount: 2
}

Update the record

VTAP.Api.Put('records', updateRecord, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error("Error creating record with line items:", error);
    } else {
        console.log("Record updated with line items successfully:", response);
    }
});

Charges
To update Charges you can follow these steps :

  • Use decribe core api to fetch the specific inventory module describe details.
  • In the API response, you can locate all charges-related information under the "chargesAndItsTaxes" key.

Construct the payload

let updateRecord = {
    module: 'Quotes',
    id: '', // record Id
    region_id: '1',
    taxtype: 'individual',
    // update Existing line item
    hdnProductId1: '601',
    productName1: 'Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief Book',
    qty1: 1,
    listPrice1: 400,
    // Update with Charges Values
    "charges[4][name]": "Shipping & Handling",
    "charges[4][format]": "Flat",
    "charges[4][taxes][5]": 6, // Taxes On Charges : charges[charge_id][taxes][tax_id]
    "charges[4][deleted]": 0,
    "charges[4][type]": "Fixed",
    "charges[4][chargesByRegion][default]": 10.0,
    "charges[4][calculation]": "Simple", 
    "charges[4][value]": 9.00,  // Charge : charges[charge_id][value]
    totalProductCount: 1
}

Upadate the record

VTAP.Api.Put('records', updateRecord, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error("Error creating record with line items:", error);
    } else {
        console.log("Record updated with line items successfully:", response);
    }
});

TaxRegions
To update TaxRegions you can follow these steps :

  • Use decribe core api to fetch the specific inventory module describe details.
  • In the API response, you can locate all taxregions-related information under the "tax_regions" key.

Construct the payload

let newRecord = {
    module: 'Quotes',
    id: '', // record Id
    region_id: '13', // tax_region Id
    taxtype: 'individual',
    // update Existing line item
    hdnProductId1: '601',
    productName1: 'Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief Book',
    qty1: 1,
    listPrice1: 400,
    totalProductCount: 1
}

Construct the payload

VTAP.Api.Put('records', newRecord, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        consolerecords/records/.error("Error creating record with line items:", error);
    } else {
        console.log("Record updated with line items successfully:", response);
    }
});

Deleting Line Items

  • Fetch existing line items: Get all current line items of the record.
  • Remove the line item you wish to delete: Modify the list by excluding the line item you want to delete.
  • Update totalProductCount: Adjust the count to reflect the new number of line items.

Fetch existing line items and filter out the items you want to remove

let lineItems = {
    hdnProductId1:’<product_record_id>’,
    productName1: '<product_name>',
    comment1: '',
    qty1: 1,
    listPrice1: 700.00,
    hdnProductId2: ’<product_record_id>’,
    productName2: '<product_name>',
    comment2: '',
    qty2: 5,
    listPrice2: 500.00
};

Suppose we want to delete the second line item

delete lineItems.hdnProductId2;
delete lineItems.productName2;
delete lineItems.comment2;
delete lineItems.qty2;
delete lineItems.listPrice2;

Updated payload with the remaining line items

let updatedPayload = {
    module: 'Quotes',
    id: quoteId, // replace with the actual Quote ID
    // add lineItems,
    totalProductCount: 1 // Update the count as needed
};

Send the updated request

VTAP.Api.Post('records', updatedPayload, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
