How to properly dispatch a tm-navigate event outside of the widget tree?

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hello,

Le'ts say I want to use the console to dispatch a tm-navigate event or a tm-edit-tiddler event. How can I do it ? I'm saying the console because I want to trigger it from outside of the widget tree. I only have access to the $tw object.

Regards

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Danielo

Just dispatch the event to $tw.rootWidget

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hello Jeremy,

I tried that too, and it didn't worked

$tw.rootWidget.dispatchEvent({type:"tm-navigate", navigateTo:"Dashboard"})

What's wrong with that dispatch event?

[Jeremy Ruston]

Ah ok, the navigator widget that listens for tm-navigate is a descendent of the root widget, and so won't see messages directed to the root widget.

In the case of navigation you can instead use methods on $tw.story (I think) -- I'm on my phone and so can't consult the docs but you should be able to find it and figure it out

Best wishes

I also came to the conclusion of using the story thing, but it is not available on the $tw object. If you don't mind, I will wait until you get a proper computer :-)

Hi Danielo

Try this:

var story = new $tw.Story();
story.navigateTiddler(titleOfTiddlerToNavigateTo);

There are more options; consult $:/core/modules/story.js for the details.

Best wishes
