Hi all ,

Can you please help me how to set token value in the updateView? I have added my code.

I know that am missing something , please help me

// demoview 
define(function(require, exports, module){
    // Base class for custom views
    var SimpleSplunkView = require('splunkjs/mvc/simplesplunkview');
    var mvc = require("splunkjs/mvc");

// Define the custom view class
var DemoView = SimpleSplunkView.extend({
    className: "demoview",

    // Change the value of the "data" property
    options: {
        data: "results"
    },

    // Override this method to configure your view
    // This function must return a handle to the view, which is then passed
    // to the updateView method as the first argument. Because there is no
    // visualization, just return 'this'
    createView: function() {
        return this;
    },

    // Override this method to put the Splunk data into the view
    updateView: function(viz, data) {
        // Print the data object to the console
        console.log("The data object: ", data);

         var tokens = mvc.Components.get("default");

// Retrieve the value of a token $mytoken$
var tokenValue = tokens.get("token1");

console.log("Aready existsS" + tokenValue);
// Change the value of a token $mytoken$
tokens.set("token1", "this is the new value");

        //var tokens = mvc.Components.getInstance("default");
        //tokens.set("token1", "Test");
        console.log("Current -->" + tokens.get("token1"));
        var myResults = data[0];  // Sets this to the first (and only) row
        this.$el.html("The count of search results: <b>" + myResults + "</b>");
    }
});

return DemoView;
});

Thanks

tokens.set("form.token1", "this is the new value")
