Get Extension Assets Path with Default in SuiteScript

The getExtensionAssetsPathWithDefault helper is essential for developers working with SuiteScript, particularly in customizing extensions. This helper aids in accessing assets that are pre-included with active extensions and ensures your templates have proper asset paths configured in NetSuite. If a specific asset path isn't available, this helper allows you to define a default fallback path.

How to Use getExtensionAssetsPathWithDefault

To utilize the getExtensionAssetsPathWithDefault helper in your templates, you need to provide two arguments:

1. config_value: The path as configured in NetSuite.
2. default_value: A fallback path to use if the asset isn't configured.

Example Syntax in a Template File:

You can include this helper in an HTML template as follows:

<img src="{{getExtensionAssetsPathWithDefault logo_path 'img/logo.png' }}" >

Example Result:

This helper effectively returns the active extension's asset path. If the first argument is defined, it retrieves the configured path:

<MY_PATH>/img/other_logo.png

If the config_value is undefined, the second argument is used to generate the correct path for the active extension:

<FULL_PATH>/extensions/<VENDOR>/<EXTENSION>/<VERSION>/img/logo.png

This dual-path functionality is particularly useful for maintaining flexibility in your asset management, especially when deploying extensions across different environments.

Key Takeaways

• The helper accesses pre-existing assets for active extensions.
• It allows for configurable and fallback asset paths.
• Useful for template customization in SuiteScript.
