endpoint path

endpoint url looks like this

http://domain.com/hinterlands/plugins/custom/salescontainer/hinterlands/my-custom-endpoint

The endpoint name is "my-custom-endpoint"

Is there any freemarker object exposed that we can use to print out "/hinterlands/plugins/custom/salescontainer/hinterlands/" (the system path) ?

So I don't need to hardcode it?

Hi peterlu,

I don't think there is a context object that exposes this but what I would suggest would be to use a freemarker macro so that you can simply use the macro in your components and you still have only one place where you hardcode (define) the string.

Hope that helps,

You can use this code to get Endpoint URL's.
<#assign endpointUrl = webuisupport.urls.endpoints.name.get("my-custom-endpoint").build() />
${endpointUrl}
