Sample Code
This component has a button that, when pressed, opens a tab and uses the getTabInfo() method to print the new tab’s tabInfo to the developer console.
Component code:
1<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
2 <lightning:workspaceAPI aura:id="workspace" />
3 <lightning:button label="Get Opened Tab Info" onclick="{! c.getOpenedTabInfo }" />
4 </aura:component>Controller code:
1({
2 getOpenedTabInfo : function(component, event, helper) {
3 var workspaceAPI = component.find("workspace");
4 workspaceAPI.openTab({
5 url: '/lightning/r/Account/001xx000003DI05AAG/view',
6 focus: true
7 }).then(function(response) {
8 workspaceAPI.getTabInfo({
9 tabId: response
10 }).then(function(response) {
11 console.log(response);
12 });
13 })
14 .catch(function(error) {
15 console.log(error);
16 });
17 }
18})Response
This method returns a promise that, upon success, resolves to a
tabInfo object representing the specified tab.
A
tabInfo object is a JSON array of
information about a workspace tab, with nested arrays of information on each subtab.
This is the structure of a tabInfo
object.
