Invoking Plugins and API from Dynamo

Last updated 3 years ago

Connecting Plugins With Dynamo

FormIt 2022.1 and newer offers access to JavaScript APIs and custom functions from Dynamo via two new nodes:

CallJSAPI

The CallJSAPI node allows you to invoke FormIt JavaScript APIs directly from Dynamo.

For function names and parameters, take a look at our JavaScript documentation, which is divided into two parts: FormIt API and WSM API (modeling kernel).

CallPluginJS

Conversely, the CallPluginJS node allows you to invoke custom functions from a loaded plugin, or a script snippet that's been executed from the Script Editor window.
