# General Remarks



This is collection of reusable [SSJS](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/guide/ssjs_serverSideJavaScript.html) utility functions for SFMC.



The code should cover most of the use cases that will eventually come up in almost every marketing cloud project.



**Questions?**



Please use [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/ttntm/sfmc-utils/discussions).



# Usage



1. Run `./build.sh input_list_file merge_file` to build the library

2. Place the code from the merged file between the usual `` and the closing `` tags

3. Initialize the wrapper class, i.e. `var util = sfmcUtils()`

4. Use the utility you need in your CloudPage, Code Resource or Script Activity



The default `include.txt` files contains 100% of the utility functions; it can be built using the following command:



`./build.sh include.txt util_full.js`



You can change the files pulled in from `include.txt` at any time, but it's probably better to just create a new file if/when you want to build a smaller version of the library.



When creating a new Code Resource: `code-resource.template.js`, a boilerplate file for HTTP `POST` triggered endpoints, can be found in the root directory.



## VS Code



A (project/workspace) scoped snippet based on `code-resource.template.js` can be found in the `./.vscode/` folder. IntelliSense should be able to work with it in JS/TS files.



# Functional Documentation



This section lists all provided untility functions and offers a brief description for each one of them.



## [_private](./src/_private.js)



This files contains private variables and methods that are not exposed in the object that the initialization call returns.
