What the best way to access the spaceKey with JavaScript in Confluence?

[David at David Simpson Apps]

I see that the spaceKey is stored here:

<meta id="confluence-space-key" name="confluence-space-key" content="GHDEV"> 

...but is that the best source?

A-ha! AJS.params.spaceKey is probably best.

In fact, there's all manner of handy stuff in the AJS.params JavaScript object on both Confluence and JIRA.

And if you place your own i18n in a hidden fieldset, AJS.params will be populated with your own stuff

e.g. if your plugin has an i18n value...

hello.david=Hello David!

Add the fieldset to the page:

<fieldset class="hidden parameters">
    <input type="hidden" id="helloDavid" value="$action.getText('hello.david')">
</fieldset>

...then call AJS.params.helloDavid, you'll get Hello David!

See Confluence UI Guidelines for more info.

The page Atlassian User Interface (AUI) Developer Documentation is also a good source of information for AJS functions.
