Getting Tag title from javascript

[JoseBerciano]

Hi all,

From one javascript file I am receiving the following array:

tags ["parenttag:tag1/subtag1", "parenttag:tag1/subtag2", "parenttag:tag1/subtag3", "parenttag:tag2/subtag4", "parenttag:tag2/subtag5"]

I would need to get each tag title from these values. E.g from "parenttag:tag1/subtag1" the tag title is defined as "Subtag 1"

Is there any way of doing this from javascript?

Thank you.

Hi 

Let say:

Var a = ["parenttag:tag1/subtag1", "parenttag:tag1/subtag2", "parenttag:tag1/subtag3", "parenttag:tag2/subtag4", "parenttag:tag2/subtag5"];

So ,

a[0] would print :-  "parenttag:tag1/subtag1"

a.length := 5

and 

Var result = a[0].split("/");

result would be  :- ["parenttag:tag1", "subtag1"]

and  result[1] would give you:-  "subtag1"

Now repeat this in a for loop from 1 to a.length

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

Hi kautuksahni,

thanks for you help but I am afraid that does not work for me, as I could have "parenttag:tag1/subtag1" which its actual title could be "Little Kitties"

Is any CQ object I can call from the front end to get this value? or any other way/workaround to do so?

AFAIK, there is no OOTB direct way to resolve the tag and get the title in JS

But you might want to look into the code of tagpicker field in TOUCH UI and one option can be a servlet where you can pass Id's in one go and get all title

Thanks

Trying to read the DOM to get tags information is not best practice. 

There are much better ways to get Tag in AEM via the Tag Manager API. See these articles:

Hope these help

you can do like this, it's very simple,

$.ajax({

          type: "GET",

          url: "/etc/tags/TestTag/"+Tagid+".json", //

          success : function(data) {

               TagTitle= data["jcr:title"];

          }

});

No, I don't think it's simple.

1. Direct URL could be blocked via dispatcher.

2. By default, Anonymous user does not have tags permission. https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/administer/content/tags.html#Setting Tag Permissions

Thanks
