Scripting in the Charge Rule API

A charge rule scripting application programming interface (API) is available to users. Users write a JavaScript function that takes three parameters: a parameters object, a hole object and a built-in blast product object. The JavaScript function is called once for every hole the charge rule is applied to and is responsible for assigning a blast product for every part of the hole.

For example:

function rule(params, hole) {
    hole.fill(hole.upper(hole.length*0.5), params.stemming);
    var explosiveInterval = hole.unallocated();
    if (!hole.params.water_condition){
        hole.fill(explosiveInterval, params.explosive);
    }
    else {
        hole.fill(explosiveInterval, params.stemming);
    }
}

The JavaScript function contains a series of subfunctions which are associated with object interfaces and included in the API for you to use within the script. For a list of all the built-in functions and object interfaces, see the followings:
