ScriptApi

ScriptApi is an exposed JavaScript API for interaction with Form renderer which serves as an alternative solution for cases that can't be solved with dependencies.

warning
Use with caution! ScripApi requires deep JavaScript knowledge, and scripts are generally harder to develop and maintain than dependencies.
