How can I access fields in my javascript?

André Policarpo

Hi,

Sorry if the question is very simple but I'm can´t seem to find a solution to my problem, maybe because I'm new to SugarCRM development. I managed to add a button near the "Edit" button when you open a contact and I managed to make it call a hardcoded phone number through the app I needed.

The problem was that when I tried to make the javascript that does what I previously described use the phone number field present in the current contact, I simply couldn't find a way. How can I store the contact that I have opened in a var for later use in the javascript?

Thanks in advance!

    You can access values of a field via JavaScript using the following syntax:

    this.model.get(<field_name>);

    Note that you will want to make sure that you do that *after* the data:sync:complete event fires or after render, otherwise you might get an undefined as the data might not yet be loaded.

    I'm clearly missing something really basic here, here is the script that I'm executing:

    (function(app){

        app.events.on('app:sync:complete', function(){

            app.router.on('route:record', function(module){

                if(module === 'Contacts') {

                    app.controller.context.on('button:call_button:click', function(model){

                        var mobilePhone = this.model.get('phone_mobile');

                        console.log("Call button clicked, phone number:" + mobilePhone);

                       // AJAX POST

                    });

                }

            });

        });

    })(SUGAR.App);

    Sorry if this isn't the best place to post code and the error is:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

    Thanks for the quick reponse!

    The context for your event callback (essentially, the value of 'this' keyword) is different than it would be if your code was running from a custom Sidecar controller.

    You can try using app.controller.context.get('model') to access the current model object in the Record view.

    inside the router you cant access "this"

    TRy this out:

    (function(app){

    var that = this; // gos outside the router

        app.events.on('app:sync:complete', function(){

            app.router.on('route:record', function(module){

                if(module === 'Contacts') {

                    app.controller.context.on('button:call_button:click', function(model){

                        var mobilePhone = that.model.get('phone_mobile');

                        console.log("Call button clicked, phone number:" + mobilePhone);

                       // AJAX POST

                    });

                }

            });

        });

    })(SUGAR.App);
