# 🛠️🖥️ Siebel OpenUI API Methods cookbook

An awesome collection (not curation) of helpful Siebel OpenUI API Methods to help you debug your OpenUI application.

NB: Siebel may or may not be awesome.

Get Current View Name:

Clicking on a component/list/applet and running the below JS will return the View Name, which you can then lookup in 🛠️ Siebel Tools

SiebelApp.S_App.GetActiveView().GetName()

Get Component Tree:

SiebelAppFacade.ComponentMgr.DisplayTree()

Will return a Node tree, for example:

VM712:1   Proxy Node -> o
VM712:1     Proxy Node -> et
VM712:1       Proxy Node -> p
VM712:1       Component Node -> Left Pane Menu Items Applet
VM712:1       Component Node -> Manage Practice Standards Outcome Form Applet
VM712:1       Component Node -> Practice Standards Outcome List Applet
VM712:1       Component Node -> Left Pane Details Form Applet
VM712:1       Component Node -> Portal Practice Standards Header List Applet
VM712:1       Component Node -> Practice Standards Outcome Export List Applet
VM712:1       Component Node -> Application Playbar Applet
VM712:1       Component Node -> Practice Standards Header Export List Applet
VM712:1     Component Node -> Site Container Page
VM712:1     Component Node -> Pages Standalone Applet
VM712:1     Component Node -> Portal Application Practice Standards List View

Get Current List of Applets within Active View:

SiebelApp.S_App.GetActiveView().GetAppletMap()

Get Component:

SiebelAppFacade.ComponentMgr.FindComponent(/*SiebelApp.S_App.GetActiveView().GetName()*/)

and it's PM (Presentation Model) object which is an abstraction of the metadata for each UI piece

SiebelAppFacade.ComponentMgr.FindComponent(/*SiebelApp.S_App.GetActiveView().GetName()*/).GetPM()

and it's PR (Physical Renderer) that binds to the PM to generate/render the actual HTML

SiebelAppFacade.ComponentMgr.FindComponent(/*SiebelApp.S_App.GetActiveView().GetName()*/).GetPR().constructor

WCAG Helpers

Depending on your version of OpenUI, you may encounter several WCAG defects. Hopefully these snippets help you zero-in on those defects:

Find duplicate IDs

$(function() {
  $('[id]').each(function() {
    var ids = $('[id="' + this.id + '"]');
    if (ids.length > 1 && ids[0] == this)
      console.warn('Multiple IDs #' + this.id);
  });
})
