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

[jayv25585659]

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

// 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");

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