Hi all,
For my extension I am using the qlik.currApp().getAppObjectList( 'sheet',callback) method to get a list of all the sheets in a document and update the DOM. However, I want to also include a list of all sheets in the document in my properties. Because getAppObjectList only accepts a callback for the sheet list I can't update my properties synchronously. Is there an alternate method to retrieve the list of sheets via another method that allows me to get the list synchronously? Alternatively, is there a way to update the extension properties asynchronously?
define(['qlik'], function (qlik) {
//create var that contains api method of current object
var apiMethod = qlik.currApp();
//declare value var to be used inside callback
var sheetPropVar ='';
//call getAppObjectList, specifying an argument and use callback to access contents of method
apiMethod.getAppObjectList('sheet',function (reply) {
//loop through each value inside callback
$.each(reply.qAppObjectList.qItems, function (key, value) {
//add values to variable for each instance of method
sheetPropVar += 'the key is '+key+' and the value is'+value;
});
});
//return some values as well as the value set above for the overall define method
return {
type: "items",
component: "accordion",
items: {
appearance: {
uses: "settings"
},
configuration : {
component: "expandable-items",
label: "Sheet Configuration",
items: sheetPropVar //sheetPropVar is '' since it is set insde a callback function
}
}
}
});
Thank you in advance for your help.
Side note: I am not using Angular for my extension right now.
