LastMethodSuccess
LastMethodSuccess
· boolean

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = true and failure = false.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

Retry
Retry
· integer, read-only
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The integer value of the "retry" field, if present. Otherwise 0.

Methods

LoadEvent
var status = LoadEvent(eventText);
· Returns Boolean (true for success, false for failure).
· eventText String
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

Loads the multi-line event text into this object. For example, the eventText for a Firebase event might look like this:

event: put
data: {"path": "/c", "data": {"foo": true, "bar": false}}
