Here is the JXA version for the sample script hook:
function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(thePubs, { forScriptHook :
theScriptHook }) {
var theName = theScriptHook.name();
var theID = theScriptHook.id();
var theField = theScriptHook.fieldName();
var oldValues = theScriptHook.oldValues();
var newValues = theScriptHook.newValues();
var theKeys = [];
for (var aPub in thePubs) {
theKeys.push(aPub.citeKey);
}
var app = Application.currentApplication();
app.includeStandardAdditions = true;
app.displayDialog("Name: " + theName + "\n" + "ID: " + theID + "\n" +
"Cite Keys: " + theKeys + "\n" + "Field name: " + theField + "\n" + "Old
values: " + oldValues + "\n" + "New values: " + newValues, { buttons : ["OK"],
defaultButton : 1 });
}
It works for me, at least with the current nightly.
