JavaScript JS API - find ID of Window

Answered

Hi all, I am working on integrating an access control systems web interface into NX.

 

I aim to use alarms or video verification based triggers to pop the camera up to the right of the web page.

 

So I need to be able to get the id for the VMS.tab.item for the browsers item. I thought maybe in VMS.self but no dice.

 

From this I also plan to configure the window to only allow one of itself in a tab etc.

 

If it is not existing functionality and is possible to add this myself with the open source client code I'd be willing to give it a shot with a nudge in the right direction.

 

Also could the knowledge base please be updated as it looks like self and auth are not fully defined there.

  Adding in hopes one of the NX team sees this. I'm happy enough with an answer of no direct method to determine the windows ID. It's a nice to have, but I'm sure there's a creative way to figure it out.

  Hi Jaemyn Kinney, 

  Thanks for your question, but at this moment, we provide the option is to find the item by name : 

  const state = await window.vms.tab.state();
  const webpage = state.items.find(item => item.resource.name === "Example")
  // webpage.id

   

  Please let us know if you have any other questions, we sincerely hope this helps.
  Thanks.

  Hi Ichiro,

  That's a good idea. The tricky thing for me here is I can't control how people might add the web page.

  Is there anything on VMS.tab.state that Indicates when an item was added to the tab?

  I could probably do an educated guess from that

  Hi Jaemyn Kinney

  You may receive itemAdded signal on every new item on the tab, the sample code is

  vms.tab.itemAdded.connect((item) => { /*item.resource.name*/ })

   

  Thanks.
