You can evaluate a function on the server-side with the AsyncFunction and AsyncEvaluateContext classes. You can use the AsyncFunctionEvaluateMode class to specify how the functions are evaluated.
The following code sample defines a custom function that extends the AsyncFunction class and creates a timeout to simulate the server-side evaluation.
var asum = function () {}
//Define a class "ASUM" that extends AsyncFunction
asum.prototype = new GC.Spread.CalcEngine.Functions.AsyncFunction("ASUM", 1, 255);
//Set default value to "Loading..."
asum.prototype.defaultValue = function () { return "Loading..."; };
//Override the evaluateAsync function
asum.prototype.evaluateAsync = function (context) {
var args = arguments;
//Use a timeout to simulate the server side evaluate or use an ajax post
setTimeout(function () {
//Evaluation logic
var result = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
result += args[i];
}
result *= 2;
//Set the async evaluate result to CalcEngine
context.setAsyncResult(result);
}, 2000);
}
//Or use Ajax post
/$.ajax({
//url: '@Url.Action("ASUM", "Home")',
//type: "POST",
//data: JSON.stringify(args),
//contentType: "application/json,charset=UTF-8",
//success: function (data) {
//context.SetAsyncResult(data.result);
//}
//});
//Add the ASUM function to spread and set the formula
activeSheet.addCustomFunction(new asum());
activeSheet.setValue(0, 0, 5);
activeSheet.setValue(0, 1, 15);
activeSheet.setFormula(1, 1, "ASUM(A1,B1)");
The following code sample uses the Refresh formula to recalculate formulas.
