Perforce 2013.1 Javascript API for Visual Tools

Extending P4Admin and P4V
Example: A Basic Alert
The following example creates an alert that tells you whether a Perforce counter is set to
an even number, an odd number, or is not set.
In the central settings file, the following code specifies the JavaScript file to be executed
when it is called with the alerts key:
function settings(key)
{
if (key == "p4admin_alerts")
{
return ["p4:///files/depot/jsapi/alert.js"];
}
}
settings(P4JsApi.centralSettingsKey());
The alert.js file displays alert text:
var alertID;
function testalert()
{
var counter = P4JsApi.p4(’counter alerttest’);
if (typeof alertID == ’undefined’)
{
// add a new alert that will be updated below
alertID = P4JsApi.addAlert("Checking counter...");
}
if (counter.data[0].value==’0’)
{
P4JsApi.updateAlert(alertID,"Counter is unset");
}
else
{
if ((counter.data[0].value % 2) == 0)
{
P4JsApi.updateAlert(alertID,"Counter is even");
}
else
{
P4JsApi.updateAlert(alertID,"Counter is odd");
}
}
}
testalert();
