I am building several apps and want to be able to reuse som code as separate HTML pages by passing parameters to them.
I would really like to pass parameters via ajax with one of these:
Alt1
$.mobile.pageContainer.pagecontainer("change", "../Photo/Photo.html", { reload: true, parameter: "dummyParameter"});
$.mobile.changePage("../Photo/Photo.html", { reloadPage: true, parameter: "dummyParameter"});
Problem is that the page wont reload.
If I use the below link the page is loaded/reloaded, but I cant seem to find the passed parameter.
Alt2
Or through a basic link
(I would prefeer to not generate the url in javascript as in alt2 but if what it takes...)
I use this code to try to retreive the parameters:
$(document).on("pagebeforechange", function (e, data) {
if (data.toPage[0].id == "Photo") {
//var parameters = $(this).data("url").split("?")[1];
//var parameter = parameters.replace("paremeter=", "");
var stuff = data.options.stuff;
//showStuff("#p2", stuff);
}
});
While I'm at it, if someone uses type script. Visual studio complains about that this call signature isnt correct:
$(document).on("pagebeforechange", function (e, data)
Expects one argument, the event, not the data. The plugin generates correct javascript but the IDE complains.
Thanks!

I've just started using VueJS and I'm really liking it! :) I would like to save the values in the querystring to a VueJS variable - this is something super simple in handlebars + express, but seems more difficult in Vue.
Essentially I am looking for something similar to -
http://localhost:8080/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fake.co.uk&device=all
const app = new Vue({
...
data: {
url: req.body.url,
device: req.body.device
}
...
});
Google seemed to point me to vue-router, but I'm not sure if that's really what I need/how to use it. I'm currently using express to handle my backend logic/routes.
Thanks,
Ollie
You can either to put all your parameters in hash of the url, e.g.:
window.location.hash='your data here you will have to parse to'
and it will change your url - the part after #
Or if you insist to put them as query parameters (what's going after ?) using one of the solutions from Change URL parameters
You can use URLSearchParams and this polyfill to ensure that it will work on most web browsers.
// Assuming "?post=1234&action=edit"
var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
console.log(urlParams.has('post')); // true
console.log(urlParams.get('action')); // "edit"
console.log(urlParams.getAll('action')); // ["edit"]
console.log(urlParams.toString()); // "?post=1234&action=edit"
console.log(urlParams.append('active', '1')); // "?post=1234&action=edit&active=1"

I am new to office 365 word JavaScript API. I am trying to send a Json object to a dialog from the parent using the dialog api. But I couldn't find a better solution for that. I have found it is possible to send a Json object from the dialog to the parent using below code snippet.
Office.context.ui.messageParent
can someone give me a good solution with a code snippet to solve this problem?
You can try something like that
In parent web page (the actual add-in) javascript code
Office.context.ui.displayDialogAsync(url, options, function(result) {
var dialog = result.value;
dialog.addEventHandler(Office.EventType.DialogMessageReceived, function(args){
dialog.close();
var json = JSON.parse(args.message);
//do what ever you need to do...
});
});
NOTE: for the sake of simplicity I omitted "error checks" if callback function receive error result. You should take care of that as well.
The web page that is opened at url will have a function for pushing back the json object after representing it as a string
var asString = JSON.stringify(myObj);
Office.context.ui.messageParent(asString);
Of course the webpage opened in the dialog window must also reference Office.js.
Here is the documentation link for this so-called dialogAPI https://dev.office.com/reference/add-ins/shared/officeui
Edit:
the original question is to send data from parent to children
If you need to send info to the page opened in dialogAPI. I suggest your append query parameters to url. You can stringify your Json object and pass it. This is not very clean thought.
Standardized way to serialize JSON to query string?
You can send JSON data or object back to your parent easily.
This code snippet should be in your child page's(Dialog page) JS file.
(function () {
"use strict";
// The Office initialize function must be run each time a new page is loaded
Office.initialize = function (reason) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#btnLogin').click(submit);
});
};
function submit() {
// Get and create the data object.
var email = $('#txtEmail').val();
var password = $('#txtPassword').val();
var data = {
email: email,
password: password
}
// Create the JSON and send it to the parent.
var json = JSON.stringify(data);
Office.context.ui.messageParent("json");
}
})();
See here: https://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/develop/dialog-api-in-office-add-ins
Find section "Passing information to the dialog box".
Two primary ways:
Add query parameters to the URL
Store the information somewhere that is accessible to both the host window and dialog box, e.g. local storage
In background.js, I create a popup like so:
chrome.windows.create({
focused: true,
width: 1170,
url : "settings/index.html",
type: "popup"
}, function(popup) {
tab_app = popup.id;
alert(tab_app);
});
I store the id in tab_app.
how can I pass a value from background.js to my popup?
I'm trying like that:
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab_app, {code: "alert("+message.add+");"});
but it keeps telling me that this tab id doesnt exist.. im assuming its because its a popup. will appreciate some help.
Since it's your extension page, the method of choice is Messaging.
Note: you can't use the per-tab messaging of chrome.tabs.sendMessage, since this explicitly targets the content script context (that doesn't exist for extension pages). You need to use the "broadcast" chrome.runtime.sendMessage that will send to all other extension pages.
If you can have more than one popup-type window at a time, this may be a problem - you need some identifier to go along. You could pass it as a URL parameter or a URL hash, e.g. "settings/index.html?id=foo" or "settings/index.html#foo". If you don't expect more than one popup-type window (you can always check if one is open before opening a new one), it doesn't matter.
If you really need dynamic code loading or execution, not just passing data (doubtful), you need to be mindful of CSP.
You can dynamically load a script from your extension's package by just creating and adding a <script> tag to the document.
However, you can't, by default, pass a string of code and eval it in the extension context. You could add 'unsafe-eval' to CSP string, but that's a bad idea in general.
Most probably, you only need some commands to be passed along with data. Pure messaging is great for it, just look at the docs.
This old answer of mine may be of use - I'm using opening a new tab and passing data there to print it.
You cannot call executeScript in the your extension pages. If you try to use executeScript in your extension page. It will show error :
Unchecked runtime.lastError while running tabs.executeScript: Cannot
access contents of url
"chrome-extension://extension_id/yourPage.html".
Extension manifest must request permission to access this host
Now you cannot add "chrome-extension://<extension_id>/yourPage.html" under permissions in manifest.json because it is invalid and not allowed.
Instead you can use message passing.
background.js:
function createNewtab(){
var targetId = null;
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function listener(tabId, changedProps) {
if (tabId != targetId || changedProps.status != "complete")
return;
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.removeListener(listener);
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(targetId, {message : "loadNewTab"},function(response){
// do nothing yet
});
});
chrome.windows.create({
focused: true,
width: 1170,
url : chrome.extension.getURL("settings/index.html"),
type: "popup"
}, function(popup) {
targetId = popup.tabs[0].id;
});
}
index.js:
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(request, sender, sendResponse){
switch (request.message){
case "loadNewTab":
alert("HI")
break;
}
});
I have an app in javascript and html, i want send data to other page, to access the page i use WinJS.Navigation.navigate.
WinJS.Navigation.navigate('../pages/Resumen/Resumen.html');
You can put parameter like this:
WinJS.Navigation.navigate('../pages/Resumen/Resumen.html', value);
And get this parameter in target page:
ready: function (element, options) {
//your value is in options parametr
}
Currently i use a fine working code for opening a modal with Jquery :
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span.ico-detail").click(function(){
modal.open({content: "View detail of " + $(this).parent().parent().attr("id")});
e.preventDefault();
});
});
And now the problem is : How can I use modal.open to open a HTML file named "view.html", which contaning the string of "View detail of "?
What should I change the content : "xxx" with, so I can open the HTML file (view.html) and join it with other text ?
Thanks before.
If the view.html is stored on a server and its content is static, then you can choose to preload the content of the file using ajax.
$(function () {
window.myAppNs = {
viewContent: null;
};
$.ajax({
url: 'view.html',
dataType: 'html',
type: 'GET'
}).done(function (resp) {
myAppNs.viewContent = resp;
});
$("span.ico-detail").click(function(){
modal.open({content: myAppNs.viewContent + $(this).parent().parent().attr("id")});
e.preventDefault();
});
});
I am creating a global variable myAppNs. This will hold all app related variables. The idea is not pollute the global namespace with unnecessary variables. There are better and safer ways to create a namespace. If that interests you, you can google for the same.
The ajax call preloads the content of the view.html and stores it in myAppNs.viewContent. The click handler reads that content from the variable.
There is a slight chance that the user can click the element before the ajax response is returned. If that's an issue, you can always move the namespace creation and ajax call out of document.ready and place it in the head section, immediately after referencing jquery. That ought to give the browser enough time to fetch the content before the dom is ready, but there is still that small possibility that the response might be delayed. If you need to ensure the user can click only if the data has been fetched, then bind the click handler inside the done callback of the ajax call.
