Issue

Environment

Resolution

  • Using the configuration variable in a re-adapted JS app is not supported and won't be in the future. This is because the portlet bootstrapping process depends very much on the underlying framework and the JS Toolkit doesn't have control over it. As a result, it is not possible for the tool to guarantee support for reliably accessing the configuration.

  • Furthermore, liferay-js:adapt is intended as a way to run JS code that is not Liferay specific. When Liferay features are needed, it is recommended to switch to non-adapted projects (i.e., developing the project from scratch with yo liferay-js) instead of using the frameworks' development tools. These may trigger inconsistencies, given that they are designed with a SPA in mind rather than a Liferay portlet.
