Custom Functions

​

How to Call Custom Functions in XanoScript

​

Syntax

function.run <function_name> {
	input = {
		<param1>: <value1>,
		<param2>: <value2>,
		// ...additional parameters
	}
} as <result_variable>

• <function_name>: Path to your function, e.g., maths/calculate_total.
• input: Object containing all required and optional parameters as defined in the function’s input block.
• as <result_variable>: Stores the function’s response for further use.

​

Example

function maths/calculate_total {
	input {
		int quantity
		decimal price_per_item
	}
	stack {
		var $total {
			value = $input.quantity * $input.price_per_item
		}
	}
	response = $total
}

function.run maths/calculate_total {
	input = {
		quantity: 5,
		price_per_item: 20
	}
} as $result

​

Usage Tips

• Always match input parameter names and types to the function’s definition.
• Use the returned variable ($result above) in subsequent logic or as your API response.
• You can call functions from any other logic.

Best Practices

• Organize functions in subfolders for clarity.
• Document your function’s inputs and outputs.
