Finding Bookmark selection value

bchip01 — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 10:10:23 GMT

Im trying to build an extension that shows all the bookmarks, the fields and their selection values.

I use getList(Bookmarklist...) to get the bookmark ids and the fields, which works.

I am just really struggling to get the selection values.

Ive tried

app.createGenericObject({
handle: 1,
method: 'GetSetAnalysis',
params: {
qStateName: '',
qBookmarkId: 'bb780b29fd-d4f4-4405-b790-e1742c94'
}
}, reply1 => {
console.log('6:'+console.log(JSON.stringify(reply1)))
});

Ive tried several other variations of this as well.

What is weird is that if I enter this into the Engine API explorer then it returns the correct value.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Hello @bchip01 ,

It's likely a syntax issue. Please try:

const book = await app.getSetAnalysis({

"qBookmarkId": "7ac00977-18a7-4aba-b5af-661b23e25909",

"qStateName": "$"

});

console.log(book)

Hi. Thanks for the response.

I tried the code but no results yet. I added the code into an async function.

If I call it with the original code then nothing is returned, if I call it with a dummy text string it returns the text string correctly.

async function getBKValues ( ) {
var app = qlik.currApp(this);
/*
const book = await app.getSetAnalysis({
"qBookmarkId": "b135617b-b643-4ed4-be7c-7a43cf4gg45",
"qStateName": "$"
});
*/
var book ="test123";
console.log("5B: "+JSON.stringify(book));
return book;
}

//-----------------

getBKValues()
.then((data) => { console.log('1')})

Also the ID's the enter I get from:

app.getList("BookmarkList", function(reply){
reply.qBookmarkList.qItems.forEach(function(bookmark){

console.log('1='+bookmark.qInfo.qId);

}

now I see. you're using the extension (capability) api. the app object you're using does not have those engine calls.

please traverse your app object app.model.enigneApp before using "raw" engine calls. Here's the full example from your point of view:

define( [ "qlik" ], function ( qlik) { var app = qlik.currApp(); return { support : { snapshot: false, export: false, exportData : false }, paint: async function ($element) { //add your rendering code here $element.html( "get bookmark set analysis value" ); const book = await app.model.engineApp.getSetAnalysis( { "qBookmarkId": "7ac00977-18a7-4aba-b5af-661b23e25909", "qStateName": "$" }); console.log("book", book) } }; } );
