I want to make a specific javascript call when an image property has changed in the on-page-edit.

Is there any way to hook up EPiServer javascript events when a property has changed, a property of specific typ has changed, any property has changed?

Thanks!

Hi Erik,

No offical way to do this but: yes, you can hook on JsonRest's patch method like this:

this.contentDataStore = this.contentDataStore || dependency.resolve("epi.storeregistry").get("epi.cms.contentdata");
            aspect.after(this.contentDataStore, "patch", lang.hitch(this, function (object, options) {
                // TODO: Raise event or do whatever you want
            }), true);

Hope that help!

Thanks a this.

Can you also give me an example of where to put this code. I cannot find any info of how to load it, just examples of custom asset components. But this is not that kind of component...

I must get hold of the dependecy object with dojo I think.

Hi Erik,

You can put it in initialize method of your addons module. (in case you create new module)

You can put it in postCreate method of your custom property editor. (in case you create new property editor)
