Netsuite Suitescript 2.0

Its been a while since suitescript 2.0 made an appearance into Netsuite with Version 2015 Release 2. Netsuite introduced a SuiteScript 2.0- a complete re-factor of the SuiteScript model driving towards a more modular based development approach. Recently, I was trying to have some hands on it and thought of sharing few keynotes based on my exploration.
Advantages to SuiteScript 2.0

1. Modular Architecture
2. Modern JavaScript Syntax and Behavior
3. New and Improved API Functionality
4. Asynchronous Client Side Processing (Promises)
5. New Batch Processing Framework (Map/Reduce Script Type)

Lets see some examples:
Load a record

require(['N/record'], function(RECORDMODULE){

    var recordType = RECORDMODULE.Type.ACCOUNT; //The type of record to load.
    var recordID = 10011; //The internal ID of the existing record in NetSuite.
    var isDynamic = true; //Determines whether to load the record in dynamic mode.

    var loadedRecord = RECORDMODULE.load({
        type: recordType, 
        id: recordID,
        isDynamic: isDynamic,
    });
});

Create Search

We can use search.create to build out our search object or search.load to load a saved search. Then we can  invoke run on the resulting search object. Finally, we will process the results in two ways:

1. Use the each method and a callback
2. Use the getRange method to get a specific number of results

In the example below, I've imported N/search into my module as s and shown the usage of the each method.

• Summary Search (Suitescript 2.0)

// Assuming N/search is imported as `s`
var demoSalesOrderSearch = s.create({
    type: 'salesorder'
    // Use the summary property of a Column to perform grouping/summarizing
    columns: [{
        name: 'salesrep',
        summary: s.Summary.GROUP
    },{
        name: 'internalid',
        summary: s.Summary.COUNT
    }],
    filters: [{
        name: 'mainline',
        operator: 'is',
        values: ['T']
    }]
});

demoSalesOrderSearch.run().each(function (result) {
    var repId = result.getValue({
        "name": "salesrep",
        "summary": s.Summary.GROUP
    });
    var repName = result.getText({
        "name": "salesrep",
        "summary": s.Summary.GROUP
    });
    var orderCount = parseInt(result.getValue({
            "name": "internalid",
            "summary": s.Summary.COUNT
    }), 10);

    log.debug({
        "title": "Order Count by Sales Rep",
        "details": repName + " has sold " + orderCount + " orders."
    });
});

• Search with criteria search

require(['N/search'], function(SEARCHMODULE){
    
    var type = 'transaction';
    var columns = [];
    columns.push(SEARCHMODULE.createColumn({
        name: 'internalid'
    }));
    columns.push(SEARCHMODULE.createColumn({
        name: 'formulanumeric',
        formula: '{quantity}-{quantityshiprecv}'
    }));
    
    var salesOrdersArray = [1001,2001,3001,4001];
    var filters = [];
    filters.push(['type', 'anyof', 'SalesOrd']);
    filters.push('and');
    filters.push(['mainline', 'is', 'F']);
    filters.push('and');
    filters.push(['internalid', 'anyof', salesOrdersArray]);
        
    var mySearchObj = {};
    mySearchObj.type = type;
    mySearchObj.columns = columns;
    mySearchObj.filters = filters;
    
    var mySearch = SEARCHMODULE.create(mySearchObj);
    var resultset = mySearch.run();
    var results = resultset.getRange(0, 1000);
    for(var i in results){
        var result = results[i];
        var row = {};
        for(var k in result.columns){
            log.debug('Result is ' + result.getValue(result.columns[k])); //result 
        }
    }
});

• From Saved search

require(['N/search'], function(SEARCHMODULE){
    var savedSearchId = 'customsearch_customsearch';
    var mySearch = SEARCHMODULE.load(savedSearchId);
    var resultset = mySearch.run();
    var results = resultset.getRange(0, 1000);
    for(var i in results){
        var result = results[i];
        for(var k in result.columns){
            log.debug('Result is ' + result.getValue(result.columns[k])); //result
        }
    }
});
