How to share data across pages

Learn how to send data through you application’s pages

Difficulty: beginner
Prerequisites: have an interface created on Bonita UI Builder
Estimated time: 5 minutes

Using query parameters

Let’s say you want to send parameters to another page using what was typed in a text widget.

To do so, drag and drop a text widget and a button widget. The button widget should be configured like this:

configure-query-params

The navigate to function will redirect to the chosen page. The query params will be passed between the source and the target page’s URL: your-application/target-page/edit?xx=value

Using JavaScript objects

You can also create a JS object to store key-value pairs within the local storage:

export default {
     populate_store () {
         storeValue('keyName', 'value', true);
         return appsmith.store.name;
     }
 }

Once done, retrieve data using: {{appsmith.store.keyName}} in your queries and other widgets.
