window.location.href not working in scope application

vai · ‎09-04-2017

I want to get current url of the browser in my application, but I see that window.location.href is not working in scope application.. I tried it in both my application scope and global scope catalog items, its working fine in global scope but in my application scope it is not working.

var url = window.location.href;

alert(url);

do we have any alternative for fetching url which works ni scope applications ?

Hi Vineeth,

window object doesn't work in scoped app. Here is an alternative.

1) Create ui script in global scope and have function in that which will return window.location

2) call this ui script function from your client side in your scoped app.

It should work

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Just remember, if your app is dependent on a custom globally scoped object

It won't be part of your app
Will need to be created in another update set
Your app can't be certified
