Hi Team,

How to call backend api in qlik mashup ?

In extensions it is available with this inside paint and controller. But not able to get it in mashup.

Hi,

What do you want the backend API for? It's really part of the extension framework, and you can do most of the stuff with other APIs.

I have built pivot table using visualization API. In pivot, expand and collapse functionality currently I am providing. I also need to provide collapse left ( in back end API) for rows and columns.

Is there any other api, using which this can be done?

Hi,

The visualization you get from the visualization API has a model with expand and collapse methods, try those.

Something like:

app.visualization.get('xxx').then(function(vis){ //also works with visualization.create

vis.model.expandLeft('/qHyperCubeDef',row,col,false);

});

I assume you would want to do this on a click somewhere, but you need to save a reference to the visualization object.

The documentation for this method is here.

Hi, why can't I get this in the controller?
