Service Portal :How to send data from calling widget to called widget.

[Nithin12]

Hi All,

I have an Widget(Request) from where I am calling another widget (RITM Variables).

In RITM Widget server side code is written as:

server side code:
(function(){
   var gr = $sp.getRecord();
   data.canRead = gr.canRead();
   if (!data.canRead) 
   return;
   data.tableLabel = gr.getLabel();
   data.variables = $sp.getVariablesArray();
   data.table = gr.getTableName();
   data.sys_id = gr.getUniqueValue();
})()
Client Controller
function ($scope, spUtil) {
   $scope.$on('record.updated', function(name, data) {
       spUtil.update($scope);
   }) 
}

Request Widget Server side code where I am passing values

if(input.getDetailsWidget && input.table && input.sys_id){
   data.details_widget = $sp.getWidget('widget-details', { table: input.table , sys_id : input.sys_id} );
   return;
   }

I am passing values (table and sys_id)trough input object from Request widget.

Here my issue is does $sp.getRecord() and $sp.getVariablesArray() will work when we are calling a widget from antoher widget as they take/consider current instance.Does they accept the value coming from input variable from calling widget(i.e table and sys_id).

I am getting following error:

Can any one guide/help me on this.

Hi Nithin,

Go for Try - catch to catch run time exceptions :

try {

// Your script for example:

1.   var gr;  
2.  
3.   if(input && input.table && input.sys_id){  
4.       gr = new GlideRecord(input.table);  
5.       gr.get(input.sys_id);  
6.   }  
7.   else if(options.table && options.sys_id){  
8.       gr = new GlideRecord(options.table);  
9.       gr.get(options.sys_id);  
10.   }  
11.   else{  
12.       gr = $sp.getRecord();  
13.   }  
14.  
15.   if(!gr || gr == null){  
16.       return;  
17.   }  

}catch(error) {

// print error using "error"

}
