How to get the result type of a javascript service ?

[seanccc]

Hi, 

I have dynamic JavaScript service , like :   let result =  Things[thingName][serviceName](serviceParam); 

How can I get the base type of the result for such a dynamic service ? 

Regards,

Sean

The return result type is based on the service what you are calling. Different service will return different object type. You need to check the return type of the exact service.

@seanccc ,

You can use the GetServiceDefinition() service on a Thing and it will tell you the return type.  Hope that helps.

var result = Things["myThing"].GetServiceDefinition({
	name: "myService" /* STRING */
});
