Yesterday I posted to LinkedIn an interesting Suite.js use case: An interactive, retro-style NetSuite inventory inquiry app.

The user enters an item number, and the description, quantity available, and unit price is displayed. The app integrates with NetSuite using SuiteAPI, and gets the item information via a simple SuiteQL query.

Here's an example.

Several LinkedIn followers reached out to me and asked what the JavaScript code for that app looks like. I've included it below.

If you're not familiar with Suite.js, it's a JavaScript runtime that's designed specifically for NetSuite integration projects. It's especially helpful when it comes to developing apps that automate batch-like, input/output intensive NetSuite processes.

Suite.js will be available for public beta testing in February.

You can learn more about the project here: https://suitejs.io
