Recovering Custom Properties Values

[Clever_Anjos]

I´m sorry about the näive question

I´ve searched the doc http://help.qlik.com/sense/en-us/developer/#../Subsystems/Workbench/Content/BuildingExtensions/HowTo...

where I can read "You then find the selected values in the layout parameter."

I´ve been debugging the layout object for the last two hours and I can´t find my custom properties,

I´ve created them as below,

How could I get the value of RadEnd for example?

items : {
  dimensions : {
  uses : "dimensions",
  min : 1,
  max : 1
  },
  measures : {
  uses : "measures",
  min : 1,
  max : 1
  },
  sorting : {
  uses : "sorting"
  },
  addons : {
  uses : "addons",
  items : {
  RadStart : {
  ref : "RadStart",
  label : "Start Angle",
  type : "number",
  defaultValue : "-90",
  min : "-90",
  max : "90"
  },
  RadEnd : {
  ref : "RadEnd",
  label : "End Angle",
  type : "number",
  defaultValue : "90",
  min : "-90",
  max : "90"
  },

Hi,

Not sure if this is the reason, but you set the type to "number" and your default value is a string. Try this instead:

radEnd:{
     ref: "radEnd",
     type: "number",
     label: "End Angle",
     defaultValue: 90,
     min: -90,
     max: 90
}

Thank you ewg, tried this as you suggested, but still not working.

Where inside "layout" object (as help says) I would search for my properties?

My Sense is showing my parameters as expected

Have you tried to console out the layout variable from the paint function?

paint: function($element, layout) {

            console.log(layout);

Also you can try to delete the visualisation from the Qlik Sense app and add it again, so it gets instantiated properly.

Hope it helps

Yes, I´m doing the way you suggested.

I have deleted my visualization, added again and nothing changed under layout. Am I right? My properties would be part of "layout" object?

Hmmm, try

1. radEnd:{ 
2.      ref: "properties.radEnd", 
3.      type: "number", 
4.      label: "End Angle", 
5.      defaultValue: 90, 
6.      min: -90, 
7.      max: 90 
8. }

ewg, thank you so much for your valuable time,

found error here when I´ve used JSlint,

There was an "," at this line after "use: settings", it was not generating an error at console, but caused this issue

[Clever_Anjos]

Marking your answer as correct because you put me on right path to find my mistake

[ErikWetterberg]

Good you solved it! Good habit to lint your code, can help you with these kind of mistakes that are so easy to make.
