Has anyone worked with the skuid.sfdc.api.makeRequest API?

It would be helpful to be able to leverage the SFDC REST services with this method, but there isn’t good documentation on it.  If I could get an example or an explanation on the parameters it would be much appreciated.

Hi John

you can use the below snippet in java script and make an ajax request and get the response. This worked for us. Happy to help from Allegis :slight_smile:
JS inline:

(function(skuid) { var $ = skuid.$;
$(document.body).one(‘pageload’, function() {
var myModel = skuid.model.getModel(‘MyModelId’);
var myComponent = skuid.component.getById(‘MyComponentUniqueId’);
});

try {

    var request = '{ ' +
        '"inputs" : [ ' +
        '{ "request" : "value1"}, ' +
        '{ "request" : "value2"} ' +
        '] ' +
        '}';
    console.log(request);

    $.ajax('/services/data/v33.0/actions/custom/apex/ActionsForSkuid', {
        data: request,
        type: 'POST',
        crossDomain: true,
        dataType: "json",
        beforeSend: function(xhr) {
            xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + sforce.connection.sessionId);
            xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        },
        success: function(response) {
            console.log([response[0].outputValues.output, response[1].outputValues.output]); // ['returnValue1', 'returnValue2']
        },
        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            console.log([jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown]);
        }
    });
} catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
    alert(e);
}

})(skuid);

//Apex Class starts here

public class ActionsForSkuid {
@invocablemethod(label = ‘Skuid Exposed API’)
public static List < String > invokeApexAction(List < String > request) {
System.debug(request[0]); // value1
System.debug(request[1]); // value2

    return new List < String > {
        'returnValue1',
        'returnValue2'
    };
}

}

Hareesh - Always good to hear from friends at Allegis.  Pass along hellos to the rest of the team for me.  

This snippet is very helpful.  Thanks
