Alchemy Settings : Alchemy Not Defined

Question

I'm trying to use the Alchemy Settings:

Alchemy.Plugins.MyPluginName.Api.getSettings()

As defined here: http://a4t-api.alchemywebstore.com/html/a155bb48-95ab-49c9-9b61-ebcc119dc2dd.htm

But in my plugin, I'm seeing the following error:

"Alchemy Not Defined"

What have I missed?

Answer 1

Most likely if you are seeing the Alchemy Not Defined error message then you are missing the Alchemy WebAPI proxy from your resource group.

Within your resource group, just add the following invocation:

AddWebApiProxy();

This will ensure that the automatically generated JavaScript proxy is added as a file to your group. This proxy not only contains the methods to communicate with any of your WebAPI controllers, but allows you to call the getSettings() method as well.

Hope that helps!
