Text scores
The result of text scores is a String (text) - as opposed to numerical scores that produce numerical results. They can be used in charts with the type Text.
Text scores need to return an object with two variables
result- contains the results string, can be markdown formattedtype- variable with the value'text'
Example:
A simple text score
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
const result_string = 'Text with __Markdown__ syntax'
return {
result: result_string,
type: 'text',
} |
For a more comprehensive example see the Appendix.
Helper functions
Helper functions are functions that are often used throughout multiple blackboxes or scores. To avoid defining such functions in each blackbox where it is used, they can just be defined once as a helper function. Then all blackboxes and scores can just use them without the need to define them redundantly.

Example
Text score for complexity

} else result_string = 'Insufficient data to calculate Complexity'
