Access VisualNEO web vars from plugin?
Quote from paeon on April 1, 2020, 11:17 amHi Everyone
Not sure if this has been covered but cannot find it, I wish to access vars from Vneo from within a plugin, I know how to return values with parameters but I have a Promise in plugin that accesses 3 Tables in a Db and wanted to make sure that I have the results from all 3 before returning the result back to the calling program, I can print the results out to console ok.
Using a return after a Promise.all[] I get 'undefined' back because I expect that the calling program finishes before the Promise.all[] finishes.
I have looked into $scope. but I think this only works within Vneo with BeginJS EndJS.
I know I am probably missing something simple but any help greatly appreciated.

SetVar [myvar] "Hi!" //in calling program
Plugin:: alert($App.myvar); //could not get this to work
but if I assign the variable in the plugin as::
$App.myvar = "Hi!";
it updates perfectly in calling program

SetVar [myvar] "Hi!"
alert($App.myvar);
in the plugin,not working, I had not created an object in the calling program with that variable attached, I created
a textInput with [myvar] as variable and now it works, silly me :)and thanks again Luis for a fantastic product.

Quote from paeon on April 3, 2020, 3:03 pmI also needed to pass in a variable that would work like the 'SetCompVar' ,
SetVar [num] "1"
SetCompVar [myvar[num]] "Hi! It works"It worked like this::
var num = 1;
$App['myvar'+num] = "Hi! It works";
and this updates calling program [myvar1].Can also use
$App['my'+num+'var'] = "Hi! It works";
to update [my1var].Hope this helps someone.
