Qlik Extension: Theme.js location differs in Qlik Sense versions

Anonymous — Sun, 19 Mar 2017 17:18:47 GMT

All,

Is there any way to determine the version of Qlik Sense in which the extension is running BEFORE the define statement in the main.js file? I am asking because I am using a file that has a different path depending on the version of Qlik Sense.

I am looking for something like this:

if(qlik.currVersion() = "2.0") { mPath = "path1"} else { mPath = "path2"};

define([mPath], function (mName) { })

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards

Gregory

You can use the Engine API.

Have a look here

You can benefit from this wrapper

Vincenzo,

Thanks for your answer. It seems a feasible way, but in the meantime I've implemented the following solution:

At the top of the paint function:

require(["core.utils/theme"], function (Theme) {

Main(self, Theme);

}, function (err) {

require(["text!themes/old/sense/theme.json"], function (Theme) {

Theme = JSON.parse(Theme);

Main(self, Theme);

});

All other code in the paint function is placed in the Main function.

Kind regards

Gregory
