Avatar

Level 2

I have a requirement that there is property value textField how to get that vale using JS

 

This is the java code to fetch the textField value :

 

public String test() {
final Optional<Resource> testResource = Optional.ofNullable(this.getCurrentResource().getParent()).map(Resource::getParent);
final ValueMap valueMap = testResource.get().getValueMap();
if(valueMap.containsKey("textField")) {
return valueMap.get("textField", String.class);
}
return StringUtils.EMPTY;

 

I need same code in JS.

 

Please help me thanks in advance.

@vineel_k Would like to get this value in client side JS or wants to write the same logic in server side JS (let's say at component level as a replacement of java logic)?
If you'd like to fetch the prop value in client side JS then you can add the value as data-attribute="${model.textLabel}" in component html and then get it in client JS.

Can you tell an example to get ${model.textLabel} in client JS

Once you obtain the data from your sling model as a getter method, you can store the value in the sightly HTL, HTML block. From there, your javascript can access the data. Click here to see an example of the code -> https://sourcedcode.com/blog/aem/with-htl-pass-data-from-aem-backend-to-javascript

Hello @vineel_k 

 

The suggested approach on @BrianKasingli 's blog should work. Its a standard way of accessing data attr https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/dataset 

 

Can you please check, that the target element is being fetched correctly?

hi @aanchal-sikka 

Tried that but i am getting error as undefined 

My code:

<section data-sly-use.model="com.project.core.models.demo"
id="test"
Text:"${model.textfield @ context='scriptString'}"// value="hello-world"
Description:${model.description}>
</section>

JS code:

(function ($, $document, gAuthor) {
 "use strict";   
	const article = document.querySelector('#test');
      var test=article.dataset.textfield
      console.log(test); //getting output as Undefined
    $document.on("dialog-ready", function(e) {

       if(test != 'hello-world'){
        $('input[name="./description"]').parents('.coral-Form-fieldwrapper').css("display","none"); 
       }

    });
})($, $(document), Granite.author);

Can you try this and see if it works?

function getTextFieldValue() {
  // Get the parent resource of the current resource
  var parentResource = this.getCurrentResource().getParent();
  // If the parent resource exists, get its parent resource
  if (parentResource) {
    var grandParentResource = parentResource.getParent();
    // If the grandparent resource exists, get its value map
    if (grandParentResource) {
      var valueMap = grandParentResource.getValueMap();
      // If the value map contains the "textField" property, return its value
      if (valueMap.containsKey("textField")) {
        return valueMap.get("textField", "string");
      }
    }
  }
  // If the "textField" property is not found, return an empty string
  return "";
}

Let mw know if this works for you.

 

Thanks,

Monendra

Hi,

At client side you cannot access sling resources. you need to pass as html attribute from HTL.

 

Can you explain your use case as well?

Hi @arunpatidar 

my use case: 

there is 2 Components

1)textField

2)description

In text field dialog when author gives "hello-world" in textfield, In description component description field should be hide.

Here i fetched the  "hello-world" value using sling through the Resource and displayed in HTL.

<div data-sly-use.model="com.project.core.models.demo">
Text:${model.textfield} // value="hello-world"
Description:${model.description}
</div>

Now i need that "hello-world" value in JS 

My code: (not working)

(function ($, $document, gAuthor) {
 "use strict";   
    $document.on("dialog-ready", function(e) {

       if(textfield != 'hello-world'){
        $('input[name="./description"]').parents('.coral-Form-fieldwrapper').css("display","none"); 
       }

    });
})($, $(document), Granite.author);
