05/28/2020, 8:55 PMWorking with setQuantity() in a child view of the pdp without any luck. The documentation is pretty thin….does this even work? Or should I just play around with the quantity parameter?

05/29/2020, 1:03 PMIt works just fine AFAIK. One thing that can catch people out is sending it a quantity as a string rather than an integer. For example, if you're passing in a value from a custom record or configuration, then make sure you run
parseIntSteve Goldberg

05/29/2020, 2:47 PMHi Steve - working in 2019.1
kkennedydesign
05/29/2020, 2:47 PMI believe I set the value as an integer
kkennedydesign
05/29/2020, 2:48 PMit should be setQuantity(integer) right?

05/29/2020, 2:57 PMI have an event that triggers a function and this is in the function….

05/29/2020, 3:01 PMok - soo…..I had an interger (I thought) but added parseInt and it works (I think)

05/29/2020, 3:24 PMSC.Application('Shopping').getComponent('PDP').setQuantity(5) should work in your browser console
Steve Goldberg
05/29/2020, 3:24 PMit should immediately change the value on the form to 5

05/29/2020, 3:25 PMHeh heh no complaints as it seems to work! Trying to now keep change some context based on the event….do you think the best way is to re-render the view

05/29/2020, 3:26 PMIf you're putting setQuantity in your code, you'll likely need to wrap in an event, such as beforeShowContent/afterShowContent.

05/29/2020, 3:27 PMAnd yeah if you change a template's context after it has been rendered, you'll need to re-render it
Steve Goldberg
05/29/2020, 3:28 PMContext is essentially an options object sent to a constructor. If it's already been constructed, then you'll need to reconstruct it

05/29/2020, 3:31 PMok - that makes sense - re-rendering works….of course it brings up other isse but I can at least start down that road
