I am trying to create a Button Extension to create a variable with a value and if the variable already exist then it will change the content. So far I am succeeded to create the variable but not able to change its content. Please check the code below. Need help
define( [ "qlik",
"jquery"
],
function ( qlik) {
function createvar(){
var app= qlik.currApp();
if(app.variable.getByName( 'testvar' )){
app.variable.getByName( 'testvar' )
.then(
function (app) {
app.variable.setStringValue('testvar' , '12345');
//variable already exist
},
function (errorObject) {
//create variable
app.variable.create({
qName : 'testvar',
qDefinition : '170'
});
} );
}
}
return {
support : {
snapshot: true,
export: true,
exportData : false
},
paint: function ($element,layout) {
$element.empty();
var $msg = $( document.createElement( 'Button' ) );
//alert(layout);
$msg.html( 'Set Variable' );
$msg.click( createvar );
$element.append( $msg );
}
};
} );
