Alfresco-从服务器端JavaScript获取URL

Question

I'm trying to create a new page in Alfresco, but the tutorials gives to me the information that i have to create three files: new-page.get.js , new-page.html.ftl and new-page.get.xml , like Aikau - http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/concepts/dev-extensions-share-page-creation.html

But the javascript is different, for example, I try to get the current URL with: window.location.search or make console.log or alert . But, in this three cases, I got "undefined" like "window is undefined"

Why is this javascript different? What type of javascript is? Where I can get tutorials, for example, to program this javascripts?

I want to make a window.location.search to get the current URL , but if I don't have this command, what can I use for this effect?

Answer 1

The JavaScript isn't different, the language itself is still the same.

window , console and alert are just APIs supplied by browsers. They aren't a native part of JavaScript.

The documentation you linked to should be your starting point for figuring how what APIs are available.

Normally, the Alfresco way wouldn't be to get the raw URL. Instead, you should be using the built-in argument processing

Since Alfresco itself is open source, we can look at Alfresco for some examples! So, starting with the groups get webscript , we see a URL pattern defined as:

<url>/api/groups?shortNameFilter={shortNameFilter?}&zone={zone?}&maxItems={maxItems?}&skipCount={skipCount?}&sortBy={sortBy?}</url>

With that, we see a whole bunch of pre-defined parameters on the URL.

Next, we look at the javascript controller behind that webscript , and we see things like:

var shortNameFilter = args["shortNameFilter"];
var zone = args["zone"];

Those URL parameters are then parsed into your webscript in the args variable, available for you to fetch as a hash.

No need to do any raw URL munging yourself, if you define your webscript correctly the framework does it all for you!

You can get the server URL in the Javascript web script (on the backend) by

var path = url.getServer()

http://localhost:8080 will be returned for example

Here is the list of available the methods - you can concatenate them to get a direct URL:
