  • Handle the decision of whether a Window or specific View should close when trying to prevent an unload. This is meant to be overridden. Called in PlatformProvider#closeWindow PlatformProvider.closeWindow. Normally you would use this method to show a dialog indicating that there are Views that are trying to prevent an unload. By default it will always return all Views passed into it as meaning to close.

    Returns Promise<BeforeUnloadUserDecision>

    Tutorial

    PlatformProvider.getUserDecisionForBeforeUnload

    Parameters

    • windowId: Identity

    Returns Promise<View[]>

  • Handles requests to get a window's context. target may be a window or a view. If it is a window, that window's customContext will be returned. If it is a view, the customContext of that view's current host window will be returned.

    • payload: GetWindowContextPayload

      Object containing the requested context update, the target's identity, and the target's entityType.

    • Optional identity: Identity

      Identity of the entity that called Platform#getWindowContext Platform.getWindowContext. Undefined when getWindowContext is called internally (e.g. when getting a window's context for the purpose of raising a "host-context-changed" event on a reparented view).

    Returns Promise<any>

    The new context.

  • Implementation for handling Workspace analytics events

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>
