Web AppBuilder config url parameter

FlavieMORAUX1 — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 09:39:39 GMT

Hi,

With webapp builder it is possible to transmit json config file name throught URL parameter "config".

.../index.html?config=config_specific.json.

But it is not documented : Use URL parameters—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers

Is it normal? This URL parameter is it doomed to disapear?

Thanks,

Flavie

Flavie,

You are correct it is not documented in the URL parameters help page but it is used and in other help docs:

Create a custom in-panel widget—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers

To preview the final result of the custom widget, type http://[your host]/webappviewer/?config=sample-configs/config-demo.json in the browser. When the app starts, click the first icon highlighted in red circle as shown below.

I will tag Jianxia Song on this.
