Modify dialog value after dialog submission in AEM

Avatar

Level 4

We want to get the input from page dialog(multifield) and add some prefix string(hardcode) before store the value in node. like /hardcodevalue/{dialogvalue} and store the value in node. Can we use any listeners to do this or what is the approach that should follow? please share any reference.

You can use the Coral UI to get the Multifield data in Jquery and calling a servlet from the same Jquery where you can use the node api to save the modified data on the same multifield resource.

The listener that will help you will be $(document).on(“click”, “.cq-dialog-submit”, function(e) 

Please refer CoralUI in AEM
to get the multifield data in Jquery using CoralUI


Hope this procedure helps!!

Thanks,

Can this be done without a servlet ? there is no complex in backend. just want to prefix some hard coded value /hardcodevalue/{dialogvalue}

If you will save the values on different place that means at /hardcodevalue/{dialogvalue} then you may face problem while retrieving values when dialog will be opened for editing again.

What is your use case?

No, I am not string the value in different location. same place with hard coded prefix value.

Hi @Anderson_Hamer 

I would suggest create a hidden field in the dialog(granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/hidden) and set the value before submitting the dialog.

Hi @Anderson_Hamer 

You can achieve this with dialog listeners, please refer below code for the same.

 

Dialog field : 

<textInput
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield"
fieldDescription="Configure Text"
fieldLabel="Text"
granite:class="concat-txt-input"
name="./textInput"/>

 

Add listener js code with clientlib category mentioned below :

(function ($, $document) {
"use strict";
$(document).on("click", ".cq-dialog-submit", function (e) {
var $concatTextInput = $('.concat-txt-input');
var $inputVal = $concatTextInput.val();

if($inputVal.val()){
var prefix = '/hardcodevalue/';
$concatTextInput.val(prefix+$inputVal); //before submit concatenate input value with prefix
}
});
})($, $(document));
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
jcr:primaryType="cq:ClientLibraryFolder"
categories="cq.authoring.dialog"/>

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks @Manjunath_K the above code is working fine but the 

 $concatTextInput.val(prefix+$inputVal);

is updating the same/only one value to all the input fields under mutifield.
