Scoping vSphere API for use with Javascript

[TheVMinator]

I need to get a handle on how to find something in the vsphere API for use in javascript.

For example take this line of code:

var vimHost = vm.vimHost;

Where would I go to discover there is a class called "vm" and that it has a property called "vimhost"

where would I find those details?

Thanks!

vCenter plug-in exposes one-to-one vCenter API via scripting. You can ind answer to your question in Orchestrator client on tools menu. There is a menu API Explorer ... . This menu will open a dialog where you can search/browse available scripting API for Orchestrator and all installed plug-ins. Give it a try.
