AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In the Extensibility API, you can pass parameters to the view file by using the
context
object in your entry point function. The
context
object contains the
request
and
response
objects, which you can use to pass parameters to your view file. Here's a basic example of how you can do this:
Copy code
javascript
function entryPoint(context) {
    var request = context.request;
    var response = context.response;

    // Get parameters from the request
    var param1 = request.parameters.param1;
    var param2 = request.parameters.param2;

    // Pass parameters to the view
    var view = context.extension.getView();
    view.addToHead('<script>var param1 = "' + param1 + '"; var param2 = "' + param2 + '";</script>');

    // Register the page type
    context.application.registerPageType({
        name: 'myPageType',
        content: function (context) {
            var page = context.response.writePage('myPageType', {param1: param1, param2: param2});
        }
    });
}
In this example,
param1
and
param2
are parameters that you pass in the URL. The
addToHead
method is used to add a script to the head of the HTML document, which sets JavaScript variables
param1
and
param2
to the values of the parameters. These variables can then be accessed in your view file. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
