SDK 4.1.0

Availalbe on npm at @servicenow/sdk

🚀 New Features

Module Include/Exclude File Patterns

• Added support for specifying include and exclude file patterns during module builds.

• Useful for omitting test files or other support files from being treated as module files.

• New now.config.json properties:

  • serverModulesIncludePatterns
  • serverModulesExcludePatterns

Default patterns:

// Include defaults
"**/*.ts",
"**/*.tsx",
"**/*.js",
"**/*.jsx",
"**/*.cts",
"**/*.cjs",
"**/*.mts",
"**/*.mjs",
"**/*.json"

// Exclude defaults
"**/*.test.ts",
"**/*.test.js",
"**/*.d.ts"

Apply Templates to Existing Projects

• Running init inside an existing SDK project now prompts for template selection.
• Enables applying UI templates and others to already initialized projects.

---

Script Include Type Generation for Modules

• The dependencies command now scans modules for scope definitions and fetches script-include types from the instance.
• Types are saved under @types/servicenow.
• Detection is based on subpath imports under the @servicenow/glide namespace like @servicenow/glide/[scope].

Example:

import { global } from "@servicenow/glide/global";

function test() {
  const utils = new global.UtilScript();
  const tables = utils.getTables("cmdb_ci_server");
}
