Reading Dynamic Variables From RichText

Is there any way to replace the ${varableTest} variables in sightly, variables which are set in the RichText while authoring? I know there is an insertVariable plugin available which can be used to insert those variables in RTE, but how to replace them while rendering text on the page.

I am not looking for the replacing them by reading the ${} first and replacing them after that. I just want to replace them with some existing available variables on the page. Below is the sample snippet:

This is my use function:

use(function () {

var Calendar = Packages.java.util.Calendar;

var currentYear = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR);

return {

year: currentYear

};

});

This is my HTML file with sightly:

${properties.richText@ context="html"} /* I want to replace inserted vaiable with js (year) variable value */

</div>

This is my richtext data:

Current year is ${main.year}

Thanks,

Get the value of richtext in main.js , do the replace and continue with the same ${main.year}

Looks like you want to use JS API with HTL. Using JaveScript with HTL is supported.

We have a HELPX Article that shows how to use JS API with HTL (and bootstrap)

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your reply.

I checked this component and this is not what I am looking for. I specifically looking if we can replace dynamic variable of richtext property from sightly.

Thanks,
