This could be improved a lot.

Let’s first talk about how this is working for me.

Everything I read to do this either says make a rest call or use the “new transform data resource”. When trying the data resource it never seemed to run the script include. So I went with rest. I’m sure I missed something I’ll be asking Tomas about this.

My working steps.

1. Find or Create a Script Include
2. Create a REST Endpoint that calls your Script Include
3. Create a Client script using the helpers and snHttp method to call said REST endpoint
4. Profit

helper has a method called snHttp, which by default batches your request up (you can set an option of batch to false to stop that.

To take advantage of a rest call to call a server side script include, you’ll need to make a rest api … really?

yep. one thing to note is you can use the async/await in the uib client scripts so that’s nice.
