Hi @karthick1356 

When you say you want currentPage object in JS which is inside your clientlib, for what purpose you need it? You will not be able to get the currentPage object in JS as the context will not be avilable on clientside and it's either available on HTL or Java which is on server side.

If you can provide the use case we can come with a concrete answer.

Thanks!

I was trying to get language of the page. is there any possible way to get language in the frontend?

@karthick1356 
You can get it in Backend and put it in HTL as a hidden attribute on page:
<div id="some-id" data-page-lang="${model.lang}">

Then use the value in JS:
var lang = $("#some-id").data("page-lang");

Hope this help!

Thanks!

Hi @karthick1356,

you can use Javascript USE API to get all the values you need.

Sample code:

use(function () {
    var Constants = {
        DESCRIPTION_PROP: "jcr:description",
        DESCRIPTION_LENGTH: 50
    };

    var title = currentPage.getNavigationTitle() || currentPage.getTitle() || currentPage.getName();
    var description = properties.get(Constants.DESCRIPTION_PROP, "").substr(0, Constants.DESCRIPTION_LENGTH);

    return {
        title: title,
        description: description
    };
});

Hope this helps.
