Code rendering in Mashup editor

When you have saved your hypercube you can go to the *.js tab and check the code rendered by Mashup editor. The rendered code is placed at the bottom of the JavaScript file:

	//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --

Example: Code rendering of added hypercube

In this example, we use the helpdesk mashup example. We add a new hypercube, select the Open Cases - High measure, and name the callback OpenCasesHigh. The following lines of code are generated by the Mashup editor and can be viewed on the *.js tab:
	//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --
	app.createCube({
	"qInitialDataFetch": [
		{
			"qHeight": 20,
			"qWidth": 1
		}
	],
	"qDimensions": [],
	"qMeasures": [
		{
			"qLabel": "Open Cases - High",
			"qLibraryId": "PXChPe",
			"qSortBy": {
				"qSortByState": 0,
				"qSortByFrequency": 0,
				"qSortByNumeric": 0,
				"qSortByAscii": 1,
				"qSortByLoadOrder": 0,
				"qSortByExpression": 0,
				"qExpression": {
					"qv": " "
				}
			}
		}
	],
	"qSuppressZero": false,
	"qSuppressMissing": false,
	"qMode": "S",
	"qInterColumnSortOrder": [],
	"qStateName": "$"
	},OpenCasesHigh);
Mashup editor also generates the placeholder for your callback:
	//callbacks -- inserted here --
	function OpenCasesHigh(reply, app){}
