RESTlet Module Members in SuiteScript for API Integration

The RESTlet module members are crucial for developers using SuiteScript, allowing the creation of custom HTTP responses in RESTlet scripts. Understanding these members is vital for leveraging API capabilities effectively.

What Are the RESTlet Module Members?

The RESTlet module is part of SuiteScript that allows developers to expose SuiteScript functionality as RESTful web services. It contains the necessary methods and objects used to manage HTTP requests and responses within RESTlet scripts.

Member Overview

How to Use restlet.createResponse() Method

The restlet.createResponse(options) method is essential for returning structured HTTP responses from RESTlet scripts. This method requires an options object that specifies the content and the content type of the response.

Method Parameters

• options.content (string, required): The content of the response.
• options.contentType (string, required): The Content-Type header of the response, which overrides the default Content-Type header from the incoming request.

Example Implementation

Here is a basic example of how to implement the restlet.createResponse() method in a RESTlet script:

1/**
2 * @NApiVersion 2.1
3 * @NScriptType RESTlet
4 */
5define(['N/scriptTypes/restlet'], 
6    function(restlet) {
7        const get = function(requestParams) {
8            return restlet.createResponse({ 
9                content: '<h1>Hello World</h1>',
10                contentType: 'text/html'
11            });
12        };
13        return { get: get };
14    };

Conclusion

By mastering the RESTlet module members, developers can effectively create and manage API responses in NetSuite, enhancing integration capabilities with other systems.
