CQ.HTTP.get equivalent in Granite UI and beforedelete listener in touch UI not working

[ravi_pampana1]

In our project we are using CQ.HTTP.get for fetching page properties by passing relative path of the page in cq:editConfig cq:listeners under beforedelete event in CQ 5.6 version, but this is not working in touch UI and throwing error CQ.HTTP.get is not defined in editor.js file. What is the equivalent in granite UI for fetching page properties similar to CQ.HTTP.get something like Granite.HTTP.get ? Also passing return false in beforedelete is still deleting the node in touch ui mode.

Are you following online documentation that informs you to use CQ.HTTP.get to fetch page properties. A better way to retrieve page properties is to use the Sling API:
