URL Hints
URL hints are various query parameters mainly used to debug or test the application.
https://scout.bsiag.com/jswidgets/?debug=trueAs the use of these hints can reveal internal information about the application, they must be explicitly enabled using the config property scout.urlHints.enabled.
The state of the hints is stored as a cookie to make it available in subsequent requests without the need to create a HTTP session.
| The default values for the hints change depending on whether the platform is running in development mode. If it runs in development mode, you typically don’t have to set any of these values for your regular development process. |
The following hints are available:
cache
Enables (true) or disables (false) HTTP caching of resources.
If caching is enabled, reasonable caching headers (Cache-Control, ETag, Last-Modified) are set for static resources. Additionally, the server caches these resources in memory to reduce file-system access to a minimum.
If caching is disabled, the Cache-Control header is set with the appropriate values to instruct the caller (browser, proxies) that the resource must not be cached. Also, the server won’t cache these resources in memory.
Default value is true (false in development mode).
minify
Enables (true) or disables (false) minification of JS / CSS files.
If the value is true, the HTML Document Parser will augment the JavaScript and CSS file names with a fingerprint (content-hash) and the .min. suffix: [name]-[contenthash].min.js/css, e.g. jswidgets-2d8843a6ef22419e10a2.min.js.
The returned html file will instruct the browser to load the minified versions of these resources.
If the value is false, the unminified versions are loaded.
Default value is true (false in development mode).
inspector
Enables (true) or disables (false) inspector attributes in DOM (modelClass, uuid).
See also Object Identifiers
The inspector hint can be used without enabling scout.urlHints.enabled.
In that case, the modelClass of Java objects won’t be available, but the classId will, which does not expose names of source code elements.
For JavaScript objects both uuid and modelClass will be added because they are available in the browser anyway.
