Get Value(s)

Function that let’s you obtain the value in the calculator as a decimal.js object. To convert to a number use toNumber() or better still use getNumberValue or any of its variants.

Several syntax options are available for getting the values of one or more variables.

Syntax

Warning

This function only works inside a onResult context.

For obtaining the value of the variable myVar and storing it in objMyVar just run this code:

var varName = 'myVar';
var objMyVar = ctx.getValue(varName);

To do the same for several variables at once use the following syntax.

var varNames = ['myVar1', 'myVar2', 'myVar3',...];
var objMyVar = ctx.getValues(varNames);
// returns an array of decimal.js objects

To get the values of all variables in the calculator use:

var objMyVar = ctx.getAllValues(varName);
// returns an array of decimal.js objects

Arguments

For each syntax the input and output types are shown in the table. The input (if exists) represents the name(s) of the relevant variable(s)

Syntax	Input Type	Output Type
getValue	string	object (decimal.js)
getValues	Array of strings	Array of obj (decimal.js)
getAllValues	[None]	Array of obj (decimal.js)
