In order for your automation projects to benefit from the Robot JavaScript SDK, the following prerequisites need to be met:
- Studio and Robot version 2019.10 or greater installed
- A Robot connected to Orchestrator
- The UiPath JavaScript Add-On installed on the Robot machine
- The Robot JavaScript SDK
The UiPath JavaScript Add-On
This component needs to be installed on the Robot machine. It facilitates the communication between your custom application or web page and the Robot.
The UiPath JavaScript Add-On can be downloaded from this page. Please note that the add-on is provided out-of-the box for Studio Community Edition v2020.2 and greater.
Once the UiPath JavaScript Add-On is installed, a prompt is displayed to allow your custom application or web page to connect to the Robot when a method is called. You can test it here.
