What is the purpose of osapi.container.ViewParam compare to osapi.container.RenderParam?
Hi All,
For common container, what is the purpose of osapi.container.ViewParam
if the only value it can have is "view" which can be covered by
osapi.container.RenderParam "view" param?
I see its only used in
osapi.container.Container.prototype.navigateGadget to determine view
to used which just backup if "view" is not set in renderParams

Ah I see, should probably clean that up then.

Implementation wise yes, its just a JSON object, but the comments in
the code like this:
* @param {Object} viewParams Look at osapi.container.ViewParam.
seems to indicate only values in osapi.container.ViewParam are
respected by the function.

Hmm interesting, in the code looks like viewParams seems only used to
check what view wanted in rendering the gadget:
osapi.container.GadgetSite.prototype.render = function(
gadgetInfo, viewParams, renderParams) {
....
// Find requested view.
var view = renderParams[osapi.container.RenderParam.VIEW] ||
viewParams[osapi.container.ViewParam.VIEW] ||
previousView;
...

Correct. I've written a sample gadget that demonstrates this. Haven't used
it in a real world case yet, so not 100% sure the need.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Navigate Params">
<Require feature="opensocial-0.9"/>
<Require feature="security-token"/>
<Require feature="osapi"/>
<Require feature="views"/>
</ModulePrefs>
<Content type="html" view="default">
<![CDATA[
<script type="text/javascript">
gadgets.views.requestNavigateTo('home', {name: 'doug'});
</script>
]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="home">
<![CDATA[
<script type="text/javascript">
var params = gadgets.views.getParams();
document.write('Name is ' + params.name);
document.close();
</script>
]]>
</Content>
</Module>

If I remember correctly the ViewParam is the view parameters that can
retrieved from the gadget via gadgets.views.getParams.

Hi All,
For common container, what is the purpose of osapi.container.ViewParam
if the only value it can have is "view" which can be covered by
osapi.container.RenderParam "view" param?
I see its only used in
osapi.container.Container.prototype.navigateGadget to determine view
to used which just backup if "view" is not set in renderParams
