Problems utilizing sessionStorage.getItem(); in ArcGIS Online

Question

Hi,
I am updating some web editing tools that use seesionStorage to navigate between a specific record and the featurelayer associated with it.

I have recently subscribe to ArcGIS Online and am wondering how I can customize the code to allow me to provide the same functionality, or if another option is available that is easy to implement.

Thank you for your help!

HI Robert,

I have successfully launched an application from IIS However the session isn't working the same way as it was in the javascript widget.

Here is the break down from original javascript widget:

1. Form.html {this is the html page that houses the unique id that is being shared through a session to the JavaScript in the editor widget}:

var sample = "{{data}}";

sessionStorage.setItem("sample", sample);

2. JavaScript widget:

var sample1 = sessionStorage.getItem("sample")

* var query = new Query();
* qyery.where = "Unique_ID'" +sample1 +"'";
* query.outFields = ["*"];
* query.returnGeometry =true;

This successfully grabs the records based on the unique id provided in the form.html

Web app builder:

1. index html:<between script tags>

var sample1 = sessionStorage.getItem("sample")

OR

2. env.js

var sample1 = sessionStorage.getItem("sample")

2. config.JSON

included Unique_ID = 'sample1'

This is being referenced 6 times

This doesn't not grab the sessionStorage.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance,

Brendan

Brendan,

Both the templated apps and WAB are built on top of the JS API so yes you can do the same thing in either of these that you could using the vanilla JS API.

Thank you Rebecca, I will down load the Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition) and play around with it.
