args from get.js to .get.html.ftl

[redraccoon]

Hello

I have a simple dashlet 

I just woud like to send a custom variable from my file get.js to my freemarker

something like this

my files get.js

***********************

function main()
{
var remoteURL = "/dashlet/relance"; //the url of the webscript repo 
var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
var json = connector.get(remoteURL);
var result = eval("(" + json + ")");

model.allRelances = result.relance;     //this is actually working
var structure = '  {"structure" : [  {  "struct" : "CUSTOM_VAR"  }  ]  }   ';

model.structure = structure;
}

main();

*********************

and in my file .get.html.ftl I could use it in condition

<#if structure.struct??>

<#if structure.struct == "custom_condition">

thank you

For converting between Json string representation and JavaScript objects and vice versa, you can use Alfresco's jsonUtils  (see docs.alfresco.com).

But to get the value of your custom variable you could just write

model.structure={struct:"CUSTOM_VAR"}

then you get "CUSTOM_VAR" from using structure.struct in your template. I think...

in the get.js

model.custom = "rien";

in the ftl

"${custom}"

In ftl you need to use ${variablename} to eval your variable to a string - used mainly for "printout" it's value.

In Conditions, loops, etc. you can use your variables directly.
