EOS eval script output to screen

[emiumfinal]

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, but my searching has come up with nothing. I'm trying to find out how to have a snippet of javascript I have executing inside an eval action output something to the screen (like it would in a Say action). For example, in a piece of If-Else code, I want one of the results to display a text string to the screen - but I can't figure out the command. I've managed to find answers to all my other questions floating around, just not this one. Thanks.

Best you can do in standard EOS is something like this in an EVAL:

Code: Select all

var myVariable = 'Hello World.'

Then add a Say action after that eval, click that say action's "<>" button, then in the "Insert Eval Tag" dialog, enter: myVariable

Or, if you have a notification displayed, you can update the text in the notification:

Code: Select all

Notification.get('my-notification-id').setTitle('Hello world.')

But you can't dynamically generate an action in EOS.

This limitation in EOS is one of the reasons I created OpenEOS.

So even though I can create an action like pages.goto, there's no equivalent for displaying to screen? I guess I can make your recommendation work, but it'll be kind of a pain. Thanks for the response.

Maybe you can put your code inside the eval of a say action.
A bit like here:

You can also use expressions in the say action's eval like phönix pointed out. If they need to be more complex, you can define a function that returns the value to be displayed, then call that in the say's eval.

Else, if you chose to use OpenEOS use can do something like:

Code: Select all

if (i) {
  new Say({
    label: "I is truthy"
  })
} else {
  new Say({
    label: "I is falsey"
  })
}
