This page lists the commands of the MXWendler JavaScript command interface. Scripts run on an embedded ECMAScript engine (Duktape) and reach the software through the global <code>mxw</code> object plus a few free functions.
 
'''The presented JavaScript commands supported in version 7.2. and up'''
 
=== Legend ===
<div>
 
''FLOATS'' are written with one decimal: <code>0.0 .. 1.0</code> &rarr; every float between 0 and 1 inclusive.
 
''INTEGERS'' are written as plain numbers or ranges: <code>1 .. 5</code> &rarr; the integers 1,2,3,4,5.
 
''STRINGS'' are written between double quotes.
 
When <u>OR</u> appears, two alternative call formats produce a similar result; use one at a time.
 
'''Addressing:''' widgets are targeted by their OSC-style address string, e.g. <code>/mxw/track/active/layer/active/clip</code>.
 
'''Access model:''' <code>mxw.playlist</code> and <code>mxw.io</code> are ready-made objects &ndash; call their methods directly, e.g. <code>mxw.playlist.play()</code>, <code>mxw.io.dmx(4)</code>. <code>mxw.widget(address)</code>, <code>mxw.media(name)</code>, <code>mxw.preload(n)</code> and <code>mxw.grabber(name)</code> are factories that take an address/name/index and return the object to call, e.g. <code>mxw.widget("/mxw/path").getValue()</code>.

This page lists the commands of the MXWendler JavaScript command interface. Scripts run on an embedded ECMAScript engine (Duktape) and reach the software through the global mxw object plus a few free functions.

The presented JavaScript commands supported in version 7.2. and up

Legend

FLOATS are written with one decimal: 0.0 .. 1.0 → every float between 0 and 1 inclusive.

INTEGERS are written as plain numbers or ranges: 1 .. 5 → the integers 1,2,3,4,5.

STRINGS are written between double quotes.

When OR appears, two alternative call formats produce a similar result; use one at a time.

Addressing: widgets are targeted by their OSC-style address string, e.g. /mxw/track/active/layer/active/clip.

Access model: mxw.playlist and mxw.io are ready-made objects – call their methods directly, e.g. mxw.playlist.play(), mxw.io.dmx(4). mxw.widget(address), mxw.media(name), mxw.preload(n) and mxw.grabber(name) are factories that take an address/name/index and return the object to call, e.g. mxw.widget("/mxw/path").getValue().
