Data Exchange

Overview

UX1 or CP sends data generated by itself or transferred by views to the active view through the named aps.context set. The data is available only after the view is initialized. Depending on the used user panel, there are the following recommended ways to ensure the data availability:

• In CP, the require plugin ensures the screen initialization by means of the aps/ready! argument:

  require([“aps/ready!”], function() {/* Callback function */});
  

It means, you can use the aps.context data in the callback function without any additional wait, because the function is called only after the view is initialized.

• In UX1, the aps.context data is available since the onContext phase.

Shared Data

To share data between all views of an application, the UX1 mode provides the aps.app object. Any view can add any data to it and through this object make the data available for all other views of the application.
