JavaScript API Reference
This section describes Bixby's JavaScript API available for implementing actions.
If you're using Version 2 of the JavaScript Runtime System, read the JavaScript Runtime Version 2 Guide for important information on how Version 1 JavaScript examples differ.
The following modules are not supported in Version 2:
datessoap
Read Replacing the dates Module and Replacing the soap Module for guidance.
Using the Modules
To use the functions in a module with JavaScript Runtime Version 1, use the require statement to import them:
var http = require('http')Earlier versions of the Bixby JavaScript API allowed you to call functions without explicitly importing them via require. This implicit import is being deprecated, and warnings will be emitted if you do not explicitly require modules.
In JavaScript Runtime Version 2, use the standard import command to import an API module:
import http from 'http'Supported Modules
The API is organized into a set of Node.js-style modules.
