Get selector value from sightly html page [Bit Urgent : Any thoughts on this will be helpful]

Hi All,

Via Java code, we are able to get the selectors by "request.getRequestPathInfo().getSelectors()" . On a component html[making use of sightly code], how do I retrieve the selector value on that page.

Any thoughts on this will be really helpful.

    Or you can just use Sling Model instead of Sightly Model

     

    @Model(adaptables = SlingHttpServletRequest.class) public class SelectorCheck{ @Inject SlingHttpServletRequest request; private boolean enabled = false; @PostConstruct public void postConstruct() { if (request != null) { List<String> selectors = Arrays.asList(request.getRequestPathInfo().getSelectors()); enabled = selectors.contains("abc"); } } public boolean isEnabled() { return enabled; } }

    For this use case, make use of a java bean.

      use a request scoped sling model and use that to get the selector and then use that on your sightly script.

      Hi, 

      Find the example below 

       

      Sightly HTML

      <div data-sly-use.selectorCheck="com.foo.SelectorCheck"> <div data-sly-test="!selectorCheck.enabled" >Selector Content</div> </div>

      Sightly Model

      public class SelectorCheck extends WCMUse { @Inject SlingHttpServletRequest request; private boolean enabled = false; @Override public void activate() throws Exception { if (request != null) { List<String> selectors = Arrays.asList(request.getRequestPathInfo().getSelectors()); enabled = selectors.contains("abc"); } } public boolean isEnabled() { return enabled; } }

        Hi All,

        Apologies for the delay in responding back.

        Using Sling model helped. But somehow, I do not get an option to mark the answer as resolved.
