Q allows users to construct variables, customize outputs and automate using JavaScript. This is a widely-used computer programming language (see Wikipedia).
In order to use JavaScript in Q, you need to understand:
- How to write JavaScript. This is discussed in JavaScript Reference.
- The different applications of JavaScript in Q. This is discussed below.
Different applications of JavaScript in Q
JavaScript can be used in Q for four different types of problems:
- Creating new variables (i.e., JavaScript Variables).
- Automating the setup of a project (i.e., QScripts).
- Formatting tables and charts (i.e., Table JavaScript and Plot JavaScript).
- Automating uploading of projects for online reporting (i.e., the API) - see Q API.
There are three sections of help for each of JavaScript Variables, QScripts and Table and Plot JavaScript:
- Overview pages, which describe the basics of how to write scripts.
- Examples libraries, which present examples that can be used or modified for specific problems.
- Reference, which provides detailed documentation of the nuts and bolts of how the scripts need to be written.
The Online Training tutorials shown at the top-right of this page also illustrate the different applications of JavaScript in Q.
