🧩 Front-End Integration (JavaScript)

Insert this code snippet into your _core.js file to display live weight in a form field:

function {modulename}_add_afterload(){
    let machineid = 1; // Set machine ID
    let field = 'weight'; // Update with actual form field name

    if (branchcode == 'PM3'){
        machineid = 2;
    }

    $(`#${field}`).data('tool','ok');
    $(`#${field}`).after(` <i class='fa fa-rss'></i>`);
}
