Creating story via Qlik Sense extension

[vasilev]

Hello guys,

I try to script an extension, which creates a story with more slides. The trigger should be a button. I could initially create the story, but I don't know how to create new slides. You will find my script bellow. 

define( [ "qlik"

],

function ( qlik) {

return {

support : {

snapshot: true,

export: true,

exportData : false

},

paint: async function ($element) {

$element.empty();

const app = qlik.currApp();

const appId = app.id.split("\\").pop();

console.log("qlik:", qlik)

console.log("App:", app)

if (appId != "Test.qvf") {

$element.append("<p>This extension is only for the Bonus Scorecards app available!</p>");

return;

}

$element.html('<button id="storyBtn">Generate story</button>');

document.getElementById("storyBtn").addEventListener("click", async () => {

  const engineApp = app.model.engineApp;

  try {

// Story erzeugen

const story = await engineApp.createObject({

"qProp": {

"qInfo": {

"qId": "",

"qType": "story"

},

"qExtendsId": "",

"qMetaDef": {"title": "Neue Story über Extension", "description": "Story description"},

"qStateName": "",

"rank": 0,

"thumbnail": {"qStaticContentUrlDef": {}},

"qChildListDef": {"qData": {"title": "/title", "rank": "/rank"}}

}

});

console.log("story:", story)

const storyHandle = story.qInfo.handle;

console.log("storyHandle:", storyHandle)

alert("Story wurde erfolgreich erstellt!");

  } catch (err) {

console.error("Fehler bei der Story-Erstellung:", err);

alert("Fehler bei der Story-Erstellung (siehe Konsole)");

  }

});

//needed for export

return qlik.Promise.resolve();

}

};

} );

Using the API engine explorer I would use the method createChild to create a new slide. 

{

"handle": 2,

"method": "CreateChild",

"params": {

"qProp": {

"qInfo": {

"qId": "",

"qType": "slide"

},

"qExtendsId": "",

"qMetaDef": {},

"qStateName": "",

"qChildListDef": {"qData": {"title": "/title", "sheetId": "/sheetId", "ratio": "/ratio", "position": "/position",

                                "dataPath": "/dataPath", "srcPath": "/srcPath", "visualization": "/visualization",

                                "visualizationType": "/visualizationType", "style": "/style"}}

},

"qPropForThis": null

}

}

Unfortunately I can not find such a method in the app engine model. Could somebody help me to find a solution of this issue?

BR,

Rumen
