how to access property in another section of my AEM page?

Question

I have a property (hideBreadcrumb) that's been declared in ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/berkeley/components/page/base-page/basic-tab/.content.xml

I have a header.html that's located in ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/berkeley/components/page/base-page. Inside this html file, I can access the value for hideBreadcrumb.

If I try to access hideBreadcrumb from another section of my page (example: ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/berkeley/components/navigation-section/navigation-section.html), it's not working.

Any ideas on how it can be done? Thanks

Please have a look at this thread:- How do I get the value of a property given an absolute path?

//You use the JCR API to get node prop values. See this article to learn how to work with AEM and the JCR API: Adobe Experience Manager Help | Programmatically Accessing Adobe Experience Manager Content using the JCR API

Also,

See How to access component properties from a Java Class

// I would say from to use as much as you can the ValueMap-approach.

Page page = currentPage;

ValueMap props = page.getContentResource("componentName").adaptTo(ValueMap.class);

String title = props.get("jcr:title", "default value");

And

As long as you know the relative/absolute path in JCR where that property gets stored, you can read it.Thanks
