getSharedData

Description​

Reads the in-memory shared app data stored with $app.setSharedData(). Returns null if the key doesn't exist.

Parameters​

ParameterTypeDescription
sharedKeyStringKey name of the data to read

Returns​

dynamic — the stored value, or null if there is none

Notes​

  • It reads straight from the app process memory, so it's fast.
  • Values disappear when the app restarts (non-persistent). Use $app.getStoreData() for values that must survive a restart.

Example​

// Read the user info stored at login
var user = $app.getSharedData("currentUser");
if (user) {
  $log.i(user.name);
}
  • $app.setSharedData(sharedKey, data)
  • $app.getStoreData(key)
