ftos.data.getFlowData

(FintechOS v8.0 to later)

Reads the data for a given flow instance and returns the flow name and instanceId.

Syntax

(method) Data.getFlowData(flowName: string, instanceId: string): any

Result

It returns the flow name and instanceId.

Example

You have a running flow instance and you want to read the data and log a field from it.

var flowName = "LoanApplicationFlow";
var instanceId = "3f4a9a8c-12ab-4cde-9f01-234567890abc";

var instanceObject = ftos.data.getFlowData(flowName, instanceId);
var amount = instanceObject.amount;
console.log("Amount for this instance is:", amount);

Intellisense

IntelliSense support is available for the ftos.data.getFlowData server SDK method, enabling digital developers to discover and navigate workflow data domain entities, attributes, and relations (both one-to-one and one-to-many) directly through code suggestions as they type. It works consistently across server-side scripts, business service components, and frontend code, dynamically reflecting each workflow's configured data domain to speed up development and reduce runtime errors from mistyped paths.

Scenarios:

• You write const flowInstance = ftos.data.getFlowData(flowName, instanceId), and IntelliSense suggests the available first-level entities from the data domain (e.g., flowInstance.application).

• You type flowInstance.application. and IntelliSense suggests that entity's attributes (e.g., code, createdOn).

• You drill into a 1:1 relation with flowInstance.application.applicant. and IntelliSense suggests the child entity's attributes (e.g., firstName, lastName) along with any further nested relations.

• You drill into a 1:many relation with flowInstance.application.applicant.addresses[0] and IntelliSense suggests the collection plus item-level attributes (e.g., countryId, streetName).

• You author server-side scripts or business service components using ftos.data.getFlowData(flowName, instanceId) and get IntelliSense that mirrors the configured workflow data domain.

• You author frontend code using formData.model and get the same IntelliSense behavior as on the server side.
