ServerResponse Object Syntax in SuiteScript

Learn the syntax for the ServerResponse object in SuiteScript, crucial for handling HTTP responses in server scripts.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

The ServerResponse object in SuiteScript is responsible for encapsulating the HTTP response sent back to a server following a request, typically initiated by a script such as a user event. This response format is essential for developers working on server scripts, such as Suitelets and RESTlets.

Important Characteristics

  • Object Description: Represents the HTTP response to requests from various server-side scripts.
  • Supported Script Types: Primarily used within server scripts, which handle business logic at the server level.

Module Reference: For more detailed capabilities of this object, refer to the N/http Module.

Syntax

The following is a code sample demonstrating how to use the ServerResponse object to add headers to your HTTP response. Note that this is a snippet and should be integrated within a larger server script:

suitescript
1// Add additional code
2...
3serverResponse.addHeader({
4 name: 'Accept-Language',
5 value: 'en-us',
6});
7...
8// Add additional code

This example shows how to set the Accept-Language header in the response, specifying the language preference for the client receiving the response.
