Processwire.config (js)

[3fingers]

Hello all,

today I was looking (just for curiosity and for learning sake) at PageFrontEdit core module, specifically at PageFrontEdit.js file.

I cannot uderstand this line of code (among others ) where loadCSS function is calling Processwire.config object's method.

(I know what is trying to do....load a css file defined by that object and its methods).

That Object is not initialized anywhere in the file and could not find a reference whatsoever.

I'm sure it's my fault (honestly I'm not so experienced in Javascript) but if anyone could point me in the right direction would be very appreciated!

Thanks!

Just guessing...probably has been spat out similar to what happens in ProcessWire admin...Look at the admin source...You'll see something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var config = {
    "modals": {
        "large": "15,15,30,30,draggable=false,resizable=true,hide=250,show=100",
        "medium": "50,49,100,100",
        "small": "100,100,200,200",
        "full": "0,0,0,0"
    },
    "ProcessPageList": {
        "containerID": "PageListContainer",
        "ajaxURL": "/processwire/page/list/",
        "ajaxMoveURL": "/processwire/page/sort/",
        "rootPageID": 0,
        "openPageIDs": [

        ],
   // etc.
   }
}
</script>

@soma talks about the technique here (@see Communicating with PHP).

Ok got it.

That Object (indeed an array) and its methods are defined here.

Very useful advice and link you gave me @kongondo (and thanks @soma too).
