Ajax call from Custom Component to another

Is there a way I can do the following:   1. Make an ajax call from Custom Component 2 to another Custom component 1, just like we do for endpoints? 2. or, if above is not possible, I was thinking ...

Hi,

you can call a component in this way:

 

$.ajax("http://YOURCOMMUNITY/restapi/vc?[COMPONENT-ID]&restapi.response_template=[COMPONENT-ID]&param1=value&param2=value")
.done(function(data) {
   //Do stuff with the component's HTML
}

Please note that param1 and param2 are needed only if your component declares parameters otherwise you can ignore them.

Also please note that this will work only if the current user has rest api "read" permissions.

 

Thanks,

 

Nico

Please note that if you want to use NicoB 's method - you may need to get in touch with Lithium Support for the instance to be configured to allow this.
