RENDER
The RENDER function is created automatically in all new advanced report templates. It is like RENDERVALUES, but provides additional context on nesting fields like repeatables and sections. The function recursively iterates through all elements of the form and executes whatever the user has set as the eachFunction on all of the fields, which is also defined in the report builder.
Parameters
feature Record or RepeatableItemValue (required) - The feature you are looking to render.
options System level variable that does not need to be defined.
eachFunction Function(element, value) (required) - The render function for each element, defined via callback in the advanced report.
container, parent, index, and allValues Defined in the code based on the original feature.
Function Definition
const RENDER = (feature, options, eachFunction, {container, parent, index, allValues} = {}) => {
if (!container) {
container = feature.formValues.container;
}
if (!allValues) {
allValues = feature.formValues;
}
for (const element of container.elements) {
const formValue = feature.formValues.get(element.key);
const renderSection = element.isSectionElement ? () => {
global.RENDER(feature, options, eachFunction, {container: element, parent, feature, index, allValues});
} : null;
const renderRepeatableItems = element.isRepeatableElement ? (eachItemFunction) => {
if (!formValue) {
return;
}
for (let i = 0; i < formValue.items.length; ++i) {
const item = formValue.items[i];
const newAllValues = allValues.copy();
newAllValues.merge(item.formValues);
newAllValues.merge(feature.formValues); // Add parent values too
const renderItem = () => {
global.RENDER(item, options, eachFunction, {container: element, parent: feature, feature: item, index: i, allValues: newAllValues});
};
eachItemFunction({element, value: item, renderItem, container: element, parent: feature, feature: item, index: i, allValues: newAllValues});
}
} : null;
if (eachFunction) {
eachFunction({element, value: formValue, renderSection, renderRepeatableItems, container, feature, index, parent, allValues});
}
}
};
RENDERVALUES

Parameters
feature Feature (required) - The record of the report. Can also accept repeatable values.

Returns
JSON - the feature elements and values
Examples
