If you are a developer who works to customize SuiteCommerce websites, you'll find that adding or updating the defined events for a native SuiteCommerce view file is a common need. Doing it correctly is key. See the example below for how to safely extend events in SuiteCommerce.

define('ExtendEvents.Example', [ 'ProductDetails.Full.View' //load the view you wish to extend ], function ( ProductDetailsFullView ) { 'use strict'; return { mountToApp: function (container) { ProductDetailsFullView.prototype.events = _.extend(ProductDetailsFullView.prototype.events || {}, { 'some event': 'functionName' }); } }; });

Key Takeaways of Extending Native SuiteCommerce Events

"events" may not be defined on the object. Be sure to handle that by using the code like:

ProductDetailsFullView.prototype.events || {}

You can change multiple things when extending events

  • Add a new event for a view. Be sure to define the function on the view prototype as well in this case.
  • Remove an event from a view.
  • Change the function an existing event is mapped to.
  • Change an existing event.
