Gosu Syntax Quick Reference
Conventions in This Document
orangeCourierPlainText represents a keyword or operator that must be entered exactly as
listed.
blueCourierItalic represents a value supplied by the code writer.
Lesson 1: Introduction to Gosu
1.1: Overview
Printing to the console
print ( Strings_and/or_variables )
1.2: Statements
Variables, declaring
var variableName : dataType
var variableName = initial_value
Variables, setting value
variableName = new_value
Comments (single-line)
// comment
Comments (multiple-line)
/* comment
*/
Statements
(no need to terminate statements with any character, such as a ";")
Conditions
Gosu recognizes both AND and &&
Gosu recognizes both OR and ||
Gosu recognizes both NOT and !
Keep in mind that = and == are different
variable = value // value is assigned to variable
variable == value // returns true if var equals value
To test for nulls, use: == null
String concatenation
value + value
If/else
if ( condition )
statement_or_{ block }
else
statement_or_{ block }
Ternary operator
condition ? returnValueIfTrue : returnValueIfFalse
// parentheses not required around condition but often
// added to improve readability
Library functions
gw.api.util.DateUtil.FunctionName(arguments)
gw.api.util.StringUtil.FunctionName(arguments)
gw.api.util.MathUtil.FunctionName(arguments)
1.3: Objects
Objects, declare
var objectName = new datatype()
Objects, specify object's value
objectName = someOtherObject
objectName = entityName(objectID)
Objects, referencing field on object
object.fieldName
Objects, referencing field on related object
objectName.fkeyFieldName.fieldName
Objects, referencing method on object
objectName.methodName(arguments)
Determining if object's field value has changed
objectName.isFieldChanged("field")
Retrieving original value of object's changed field
objectName.getOriginalValue("field")
Indirectly referencing subtype fields ("casting")
(object as childSubtype).fieldOrMethod
1.4: Subtypes
Testing an object's type (exactly at given subtype level)
object.Subtype
Testing an object's type (at or below given subtype level)
object typeis Subtype
Lesson 2: Arrays
Array length
array.length
For loops (iterating through an array)
for (currentObject in objectSet) {
// statements that process currentObject
}
Adding index variable to for loops
for (currentObject in objectSet index indexVar)
Testing for existence of element
array.hasMatch ( \ row -> condition )
Finding first element of given criteria
array.firstWhere( \ row -> condition )
Finding all elements of given criteria
array.where( \ row -> condition )
Adding object to array
parentObject.addToArrayName(objectToAdd)
parentObject.removeFromArrayName(objectToRemove)
Lesson 3: Queries
3.1: Basic Queries
Basic query and result set
var queryObj = gw.api.database.Query.make(EntityToQuery)
var resultsObj = queryObj.select()
Viewing approximation of SQL
queryObj.toString()
3.2: Restricted Queries
Restricting a query using compare
queryObj.compare("field", operator, value)
3.3: Result Sets
Getting size of results
resultsObj.Count
Sorting results
resultsObj.orderBy(\row -> row.FieldName)
resultsObj.orderByDescending(\row -> row.FieldName)
Querying when only one result is expected
queryObj.select().AtMostOneRow
3.3: Subqueries
Associating subquery to parent query
parentQuery.subselect("fieldInParentQuery",
operator, childQuery, "fieldInChildQuery")
Lessons 4 And Beyond
4: Business Rules
(There is no new syntax discussed in detail in this lesson.)
5: PCF functions
Declaring PCF function
function functName (inputvar : datatype) : returnType {
// code to execute function
return returnValue
}
Executing PCF function
functName(inputVar)
Committing data changes in current location
CurrentLocation.startEditing()
CurrentLocation.commit()
6: Enhancements
Getters
property get PropertyName() : returnType {
// code to derive property,
using "this" to reference root object
return propertyValue
}
Setters
property set PropertyName( parameter : dataType ) {
// code to set appropriate property, using "this" to
// reference root object
}
Functions
function functionName(parameter : dataType) : returnType {
// code to execute function,
using "this" to reference root object
return returnValue
}
7: Script Parameters
Referencing script parameters
ScriptParameters.parameterName
