Creating new Item View

Hello there @aholtzhauer,

I shared your feedback about the documentation in the Github example app. Our team will take a look into it!

Regarding what you want to do, you can create your custom app, then in it, create an item view feature and in your script, you can use our SDK to get that information.

You can get the context where the app is being used and you could also (after getting the relevant IDs from the context) use monday.api as explained here, to send a query to our API and get any information you want (such as the column values for some item).

I believe this would be the easiest way to tackle this.

What do you think? Is this what you were looking for?

Cheers,
Matias

Hi Matias,

I appreciate your time with helping me. My issue is that whether I do monday.listen("context") or monday.get("context"), neither seem to fire when viewing the added view in my item. I’ve got a log statement that I’ve tried using with either line of code that doesn’t work when viewing my item, but it does work when viewing the basic “app” when viewing the “widget setup” (which doesn’t help me because I should only be caring about the single item I’ve clicked on).

Any idea why I’m able to get the context at the widget setup page but not when I click on the view for my item?

If I understand correctly, the app is logging it correctly when you test it in the developers section, but not when you add it to an actual item. Correct?

If that’s the case, I’d try the following to troubleshoot:

Check that you’ve created a new build for the app, and it points to the right code. When you add the app to a board/item, it renders the most recent build (either uploaded or via an iframe URL). When you view it in the widget setup section, it renders either the Preview URL or the most recent build.

Check if you’re adding the right version to your board. If you have multiple versions of your app, you’ll see all of them in the item view selection screen. Check that you’re connecting the right one.

Hit refresh. Sounds obvious, but if you’re testing and configuring your app in two different tabs, chances are that the testing tab is using some old data. Hit refresh so that your browser fetches the most recent configuration for your app.

Well don’t I feel silly… I never created a build using the URL/uploaded zip and was just viewing the preview URL in the widget setup. 🤦‍♂️

Thank you! I should be good to go from here. 🙂
