widget data to record producer

SNOW User8 · ‎05-31-2017

Is there any way to retrieve a widget data and create a new Record Producer based on that data.

If someone have a solution please advice me to achieve this.

I want to create a new Record Producer based on this details. (New Record Producer as a Name) and others as Variables.

Regards,

Anna.

Hi Anna,

It appears you and I have similar requirements. My widget contains a table, with basic functionality like adding rows and inline editing.

The only way i've discovered to pass the data object is create a hidden catalog variable to store the serialized data object.

Widget client script:

$scope.page.g_form.setValue("hidden_widget_value", angular.toJson(c.data.notes));

Then on catalog client script you could do something like :

function onSubmit() {

var data_from_widget = g_form.getValue('hidden_widget_value');

/* parse string to object, then iterate object to insert records into table */

}

Hi there,
I think you can use "CustomEvent" as an "event publisher & subscriber" in widget controller & record producer catalog client script, something like:
1. Fire an event In widget controller:

CustomEvent.fireAll('hs-event', c.data.eventGenerated);

2. Listen the event in catalog client script (onLoad type script normally):

CustomEvent.on('my-event', function(newValue) {
        g_form.setValue('description', newValue);
});

The events listening or firing can be dual-direction if needed.

Cheers,
