I'm trying to use the new lightning:isUrlAddressable interface to pass a few variables into a lightning component that is inside a lightning tab. In the init function I try to get the pageRefernce with the code
var myPageRef = component.get("v.pageReference");
console.log(myPageRef);
myPageRef will only return null right now and I'm not sure why. I have made sure the api version is 43. I am loading some other scripts into the page as well and I have tried getting the pageReference before and after loading the scripts. with no change.
<ltng:require styles="{!join(',',
$Resource.FSL__FontAwesome44 + '/css/font-awesome.min.css')}"
scripts="{!join(',',
$Resource.jquery_3_1_0_min,
$Resource.bootstrapNew + '/bootstrap-3.3.7-dist/js/moment.js',
$Resource.bootstrapNew + '/bootstrap-3.3.7-dist/js/bootstrap.datepicker.js')}"
afterScriptsLoaded="{!c.jsLoaded}" />
I have also tried including
<lightning:workspaceAPI aura:id="workspace"/>
<lightning:navigation aura:id="navService"/>
but neither seems to have any effect and I don't think they should from what I know about them.
Has anyone else had any problems with this interface?
