I'm trying to add a custom view to the layout component which needs access to some custom properties on the item

custitem_my_prop

. This view will be on the PDP and in the Cart, but I am unsure how to get the item context data

contextRequestData

in the Cart—it's

undefined

. I'm relatively new to SC development so can anyone give me some direction?

A 

contextDataRequest

 is a call you can include in a child view so that it will gain access to the model or collection data of a parent view. Probably it is available on the P DP but not in the cart itself based on the docs. Try using the

Cart

component, specifically the

getLines

method. https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/APIs/SuiteCommerce/Extensibility/Frontend/Cart.html#getLines

You know, I thought as much because the table for

contextRequestData

didn't have a Cart parent view listed, but was unsure. Thanks for the advice!
