Is there any equivalent of Art Dictionary in extendscript?

[dnyaneshlb]

Hi guys,

I am in process of converting c++ plugin code into html extension. I have came across below code snippet. I am not sure whether there is any equivalent of Art Dictionary in extend script. If there is any please point me there.

I have skimmed documents named "Illustrator Scripting Reference - JavaScript_CC2015", "JavaScript-Tools-Guide.pdf", "CEP_6.1_HTML_Extension_Cookbook.pdf" found on github/devnet etc.

Thanks in advance,

What is "Art Dictionary" ?

I have came across a code in plugin,

1. /Get the AI file dictionary 
2.   AIDictionaryRef dictionary; 
3.   error = sAIDocument->GetDictionary(&dictionary); 
4.  
5.  
6.   //Get the ADS BOM count, incremented on ever drag/drop and apply color event 
7.   AIDictKey bomCountKey  = sAIDictionary->Key(BOMCount); 
8.   ai::int32 bomCount = 0; 
9.   sAIDictionary->GetIntegerEntry(dictionary, bomCountKey, &bomCount); 
10. #ifdef MAC_ENV 
11.   std::string bomKeyStr = BOMPrefix + CSEUtil::getCSEStringFromInt(bomCount); //std::to_string((long double)bomCount); 
12. #elif defined WIN_ENV 
13.   CSEString iStr  = CSEUtil::getCSEStringFromInt(bomCount); 
14.   std::string s( iStr.begin(), iStr.end() ); 
15.   std::string bomKeyStr = BOMPrefix + s;//std::to_string((long double)i);; 
16. #endif 
17.   AIDictKey dictKey = sAIDictionary->Key(bomKeyStr.c_str()); 

I see on line number 3, a dictionary object is being retrieved from document. I assume dictionary is kind of mapping structure with key and value pairs.

When I observe DOM tree of Document Object in extendscript toolkit CC , I could not see dictionary.

Please Correct me if I am doing something wrong.

This looks like a component of the SDK domain.

Extendscript doesn't support Art Dictionary.
