Hello,
I am using Angular web resources in my form. But I am not able to access formContext into my typescript component.
If I want to access formContext I need to use Client API execution context.
when I build my Angular web resource it generated the following javascript file.
How I can pass the execution context so that I can access it from my angular component ngOnInit event ?
Regards
Mohammad
Hi Leah,
Thank you for your response.
I am already using
<script type="text/javascript" src ="../ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx"></script>
npm install --save @types/xrm
I need to get Attribute value.
function displayName()
{
var firstName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("firstname").getValue();
var lastName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("lastname").getValue();
console.log(firstName + " " + lastName);
}
Xrm.Page object is deprecated and I need to use formContext
function displayName(executionContext)
{
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get formContext
// use formContext instead of Xrm.Page
var firstName = formContext.getAttribute("firstname").getValue();
var lastName = formContext.getAttribute("lastname").getValue();
console.log(firstName + " " + lastName);
}
If I use simple javascript I can easily pass formcontext on load event. But for angular, I don't know how to do that.

Hi Mohammad,
Not using formContext in the Angular web resource, you need use xrm to achieve it.
Steps for using Xrm object in Angular application
1.We need to add the following line of code to “Index.HTML”, as this will add the ClientGlobalContext to the Angular JS component.
<script type="text/javascript" src ="../ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx"></script>
2.Now we need to download and install the XRM tool libraries to our project, so please open your terminal and execute the below command:
npm install --save @types/xrm
3.Now we need to update the tsconfig.app.json file in our project. Need to add the value xrm in the types parameter.
4.Now build the application and update the main.js file in Dynamics 365.
If you are on Dynamics 365 version 9.x and above then you can directly use Xrm.WebApi to perform CRUD operations on CRM data. But if you are on 8.x and below then you would need to add reference of Web API in your Angular Application.
