(cd ~/workspace/scripts && npm i -S sf-extension-utils)

How to use

1. Fix global methods

In app.js make sure that require("sf-extension-utils") is set. This is fixing alert, setTimeout, setInterval, clearTimeout and clearInterval methods. Some of the other util modules might depend on it!

2. Require util modules

Later in any file, require it with the path: require("sf-extension-utils/lib/<moduleName>") Such as:

• require("sf-extension-utils/lib/rau")
• require("sf-extension-utils/lib/permission")
• require("sf-extension-utils/lib/fingerprint")
• require("sf-extension-utils/lib/speechtotext")
• require("sf-extension-utils/lib/location")

Update sf-extension-utils

2. Change your codes based on the new access format
   • Old: const <moduleName> = require("sf-extension-utils").
   • New: const <moduleName> = require("sf-extension-utils/lib/<moduleName>")
   • Some modules have renamed, based on the file name. They have the same names as in documentation. Please check doc folder for new module names.
