About the Robot JavaScript SDK

RobotJS

UiPath's Robot JavaScript SDK, or Robot JS, enables you to incorporate UiPath automation capabilities within your JavaScript applications. It provides a set of JavaScript libraries that act as a bridge of communication between JavaScript-based applications and UiPath Robots.

This SDK extends the ability to create, monitor, and manage processes directly from JavaScript applications.

Prerequisites

To use RobotJS, you need to:

• install Studio and Robot installed on your machine (versions 2019.10 or greater),

• install Robot JavaScript add-on on the machine that executes the process, and

• connect the Robot to your Orchestrator instance.

RobotJS on Windows OS

To use RobotJS add-on on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8 and 8.1, you need:

• Robot JS version 1.2.5+

• Robot version 2021.4.4+

RobotJS on macOS

To use RobotJS add-on on macOS ARMv8 and AMD64, you need:

• Robot JS version 1.2.7+

• Robot version 2021.4.4+

It functions similarly as on Windows OS, with some exceptions:

• It does not support the Safari browser,

• it does not offer a standalone version, and

• it only executes cross-platform automations.

Documentation

The Developer Guide combined with the User Guide offer a complete SDK and JavaScript add-on overview for Robot, detailing usage, prerequisites, and initial robot-enabled application creation.

You can also develop the Robot JavaScript SDK functionality in .NET, by using the commands.

Specifications
