Localization in custom components

Hi,

We are trying to create a few custom components to work alongside the normal Spark UI controls mostly following the ‘Creating your own control’-article. I have tried to find some documentation how to properly fetch some localization resources inside a custom control, but haven’t been able to find anything on the subject.

Is there some documentation on this or can someone point me to the right direction ?

 

Regards,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Here is a link to an article in the IBM Developer Works library that covers the topic of adding localization resources to Coach Views:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/bpm/library/techarticles/1404_villegas/1404_villegas.html

Is this what you are looking for, or are you trying to access locale information during runtime?

Hi,

My question was more to how to access the localization resources directly from code. You might call that runtime access. Since we are talking about custom components, I’m interested in how to best use the localization features. You can access config options through this.context.binding.<option name>.get(“value”) is there something similar for localization ?

Hi Sebastian,

I have been unable to find any way to reach the Localization Resources at runtime.

Hi,

How can I access the localization variable in the events tab of the components (button,text,etc.)
For example, I would like to get the message ‘This field is mandatory’ in the onclick event of the button from the localization variable. Is there a way to do ? Could you help me ?

Hi Canan,

Localization resources are predefined for SPARK.  You would need to look through the available messages or add a new Localization Resource Bundle Group to accommodate your needs.

One possible method to get the localization message into your code would be to add an Output Text to your Coach with a visibility of None.  Link a Localization Resource to your Coach.  Set the Text Formula configuration option to the Localization Resource value of your choice.  Then call ${Output_Text1}.getText() from your code.

Hi,

I added an Output Text to my Coach and set the Localization Resource value of my choice and It worked, thanks.

However, I have to validate more than 10 values. Do I have to put 10 Output Text on my Coach. Is there another way to do ?
