Using adapters in JavaScript Use-API in Sightly

Question

I have a path and want to adapt it into Page using Sightly.

The user can enter a path in the dialog — in my logic, I am using currentPage as a default value, but if the user enters a path, I want to use this instead.

How can I change the path into a Page object in JavaScript, in order to use all functions of the Page API? (i.e. I'm using JavaScript for my backing logic rather than Java)

Answer 1

The PageManager is implicitly available as a pre-defined object in the JavaScript Use-API (pageManager), that you can go ahead & use.

E.g, if you had a variable path, and wanted to resolve the relevant page & return its title, you could do:

use(function () {
    var path ="/content/foo/bar";
    return {
        pageTitle: pageManager.getPage(path).title
    };
});
