Retrieve individual objects

The Object Context panel lets you:

• Access the properties of an object directly using {{o_object_context1.property1}} notation, instead of manipulating JSON.
• Create a Slate application that will be dependent on a single object, which is a common pattern when using Slate to build a tab or custom widget to embed in an Object View.

Constructing an Object Context

To construct an Object Context o_object_context1, you need to enter a single object RID by:

• Referencing a function or object query that returns a single RID (like {{return_single_object}}), or by
• Directly entering a static object RID, like ri.phonograph2-objects.main.object.09d2e0e9-dd3c-49b2-8b96-0cb1bf005c1d.

Once the Object Context is defined, you will be able to:

• Access its properties (for example, o_object_context1.title or o_object_context1.property1) and
• Use this output in the rest of Slate’s functions, variables, events, or widget properties.
