Technical documentation for the JLo NetSuite SDF project. This section covers how the codebase is organized, the conventions for writing and compiling scripts, how to run the tests, and how to deploy.
- Environment Setup , install Node, the SuiteCloud CLI, and authenticate against the JLo sandbox.
- TypeScript Workflow , how TypeScript sources compile to AMD JavaScript, file headers, and import conventions.
- Testing , Jest setup, the compiled-JS test pattern, and mocking the
N/*modules. - Deploying , environments,
deploy.xml/manifest.xmldiscipline, and the validate / deploy commands.

src/TypeScripts/ is the only place to edit TypeScript. The compiler emits AMD modules into src/FileCabinet/SuiteScripts/<subdir>/. Native JavaScript files at the root of src/FileCabinet/SuiteScripts/ predate the SDF restructure and are hand-edited as-is, the orphan-cleanup script leaves them alone.

npm test # All tests with coverage
npm run test:unit # Unit tests only
