Service Portal: Client Side Data to Server Side

[Dhruv Chandan]

Hi All,

I've created a custom field using HTML and now i want to get the value being input in that field towards the server side in Service Portal.

HTML Part:-

<div>

  <img ng-src="{{::c.data.logo}}" />

  <a href="?id={{::c.data.homepage}}">Click here to go home</a>

</div>

<div>Enter your Last name:

<input type="text" ng-model="c.data.lastname" id="LN" ng-change="c.displayNew()"/>

<h2>{{ c.data.messageNew }}</h2>

</div>

Client Side Part:-

function() {
	var c = this;
	c.displayNew = function(){
		c.data.messageNew = (c.data.lastname) ? 'Hello ' + c.data.lastname + '!' : '';
	}
	c.display();
	c.server.update();

}

Server Side part:-

(function() {

  /* populate the 'data' object */

  /* e.g., data.table = $sp.getValue('table'); */

  console.log("Server Side"+input);

  var portalGr = $sp.getPortalRecord();

  console.log("Server Side"+portalGr);

})();

Any idea how to get the "Last Name" which is being input to the server side for further validations.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

You are quite close. On the server side you get the input via "input.data.lastname".

Also see this for inspiration:

Hi Lars,

I tried "console.log("Server Side"+input.data.lastname);"

but it showing up as undefined in the logs even with the entries filled in.

console.log is a client-side only javascript command

input.data. is server-side only

You can't mix the two.

You can do a gs.log though, then look through your servicenow logs to find what   you're trying to see.

Hi David,

gs.log("Server Side"+input.data.lastname,"dc31");

Used the above statement in the sever side code and the system logs is still showing it as undefined.
