Backend API

The Backend API consists of a number of methods, and is used for communicating with the Qlik engine. It provides Helper functions for Qlik engine calls and access to Qlik engine data. Available for extensions as this.backendApi.

In short terms, the Backend API is a wrapper around some of the Qlik Engine API methods but with the difference that the Backend API is aware of the context, that is the current web socket connection and the Qlik Sense app.

Example:  

this.backendApi.eachDataRow(function(rownum, row) {
	.....
});
