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
