How to import the token value in the JavaScript in Simple XML?

[kedjjang]

Create a wish come test.js code to get the value of $ time_ok1.earliest $.

[jeffland]

In test.js, you need to require the right components, and then you can simply grab the tokens from the token model. Something like this:

 require([
     'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!',
     "splunkjs/mvc"
 ],
 function(
     mvc
     ) {
         // Get the default model
         var defaultTokenModel = splunkjs.mvc.Components.getInstance("default");
         // Get some token from there
         var token_kang = defaultTokenModel.get("kang");
         ...

See here for the docs. Be aware though that the object "token_kang" at the moment contains two fields, and to get to the earliest in js, you need to do token_kang.earliest.

Your comment might not be published immediately because it is in moderation.
Two things: have you surrounded your js in a splunkjs/ready!-require statement? That should ensure everything is loaded before your code runs. Also, does your input have a default setting?

[joao_amorim]

Ok yes it has a default setting, ah i didn't has the splunkjs/ready! in the require statement.
Now it looks like it's working. But now i want to add behavior to the time input like on change

[jeffland]

You can do that by listening to the token model change:

var tokens = mvc.Components.get("default");
tokens.on("change:token_name", function(model, value, options) {
    // do stuff
});

[joao_amorim]

Ok ty i will try that in the other tokens i usually do this:
JS:
var year = $("#input1");
year.on("change", function(newValue) {
refreshHOT();
});

XML:

This works for the other tokens but since time inputs are not dropdowns, that's why this doesn't work for them.
Or it's more reliable to change them all to your example of:

tokens.on("change:token_name", function(model, value, options) {
// do stuff
});

[jeffland]

If that was a question, no, I doubt one way is more reliable than the other. See which one works for you, and go with it... or use both.

[joao_amorim]

I changed them to you suggestion and they work, but again the time input token doesn't work.
But probably to time input i need to do:
tokens.on("change:time_range.earliest", ...)
Not only:
tokens.on("change:time_range", ...)

[jeffland]

Yes, that's probably it.

[joao_amorim]

Thanks unfortunately the behavior after using your method was not the expected but i give a try to the method explained by kedjjang and it works perfect.
Just if you want to know:
XML:

<input id="time_range" type="time" token="time_range" searchWhenChanged="true">

JS:

var time_range = mvc.Components.getInstance("time_range");
time_range.on("change", function(newValue) {
    // do stuff
});

[jeffland]

Thanks for posting a working solution. Please enter xml code by leavin one blank line and indenting all lines of code by four spaces, otherwise the board will mess your code up.

[joao_amorim]

The input tag makes code disappear xP

[joao_amorim]

When i open the dashboard the only tokens that don't work are these related to time inputs because the others work fine. As I have the tokens set are working but just after i change the time input to other date. The first time the dashboard loads, the get of the earliest and latest gives undefined

[kedjjang]

It appears to be undefined.

splunkjs.mvc.Components.getInstance ("default");

Will that be called justice in simplexml default?

[jeffland]

What exactly is undefined?

[kedjjang]

require(["splunkjs/ready!"], function(mvc) {
var deps = [
        "jquery",
        "splunkjs/ready!",      
        "splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager",
    ];
    require(deps, function(mvc) {               

    var defaultTokenModel = splunkjs.mvc.Components.getInstance("default");
    var token_def = defaultTokenModel.get("kang");

    alert(token_def);  << undefined
    console.log(token_def);
});
});

[jeffland]

Oh, my bad. I mistook your id and token name. It has to be

var token_def = defaultTokenModel.get("time_ok1");

Sorry!

[kedjjang]

You're welcome...

"time_ok1" Even if I value the results.
I think that haneunge "default" settings on the source code ... I do not know anything.

[jeffland]

I'm sorry, I don't quite get what you're saying - is something still not working?

[joao_amorim]

Hi this var token_def = defaultTokenModel.get("time_ok1");
Doesn't work for me. Any idea?
