(v23) Other CORS JavaScript Examples

Other CORS JavaScript Examples

This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports

For the examples in this section where Symphony is embedded on the page, it is embedded using an inline frame (iframe). You can also use the Symphony embed library and use its runScript method.

Change View Options and Return Data

The following is another example of running JavaScript within the embedded Symphony client application from your own application's JavaScript. It sets the view options of a dashboard to hide the menu, toolbar and taskbar, then sends a message back to the parent application.

$(document).ready(function() { // Hook up to receive window postMessage calls. $(window).bind("message", function (e) { var result = e.originalEvent.data; // result will be ‘hi’ }); // Synchronous Example var iframe = $("#iFrame").get(0); $(iframe).load(function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage({ "isAsync": false, "script": " console.log(e); window.dundas.context.baseViewService.viewOptions = dundas.ViewOptions.VIEW_ONLY; window.dundas.context.updateViewFromViewOptions(); return 'hi'; " }, "https://dundas.mysite.com"); });

Change View Options and Return Data Asynchronously

The following example is the same as the previous but sends a message back to the parent application asynchronously (when a timeout expires, for demonstration purposes). The isAsync property is set to true in the posted message object, in which case the accompanying script should return a jQuery Promise or Deferred as done below:

$(document).ready(function() { // Hook up to receive window postMessage calls. $(window).bind("message", function (e) { var result = e.originalEvent.data; // result will be ‘hi’ }); // Synchronous Example var iframe = $("#iFrame").get(0); $(iframe).load(function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage({ "isAsync": false, "script": " console.log(e); window.dundas.context.baseViewService.viewOptions = dundas.ViewOptions.VIEW_ONLY; window.dundas.context.updateViewFromViewOptions(); return 'hi'; " }, "https://dundas.mysite.com"); }); });
