How to execute pre-defined JavaScript function in AppleScript and pass data to JavaScript
In my AppleScript, I want to pass a list of keys to a website's client-side, then query the data on the backend, and get the response and re-render the client-side. All of these should happen in the background so that the user won't notice it.
Previously, I was able to create a dummy button (set it as a hidden button), and click the button in AppleSciprt, then trigger the onClick event in my website:
tell tab t to set RemoveBtRestriction to execute javascript "document.getElementById('myButton').click()"
But now my requirement is to pass data to the client, how to achieve this? Is it possible to execute a JavaScript function like this directly, which the loadKeys function is pre-defined my client-side:
set keys = 'key1,key2,key3';
tell tab t to execute javascript "loadKeys(keys)"
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
Solution 1:
Compose the JavaScript string using the concatenation operator in AppleScript.
"loadKeys(" & keys & ")"
This will run the JavaScript loadKeys(key1,key2,key3)
.
