Access to config within JS in panel

[edasque]

This is more a question than an issue. How would I access the config object from a bit of JS in an HTML panel, specifically the elasticsearch URL.

HTML panel? You mean the text panel? The configuration object is only accessable through a requirejs component.

Yes, the text panel in HTML mode. I stuck a bit of JS in there. Do you have an example of how I could access the config.js from a random bit of JS on the page (one that's not part of the angular app).

Hm...

try this.

require(['config'], function(config) {
// do something
});

No guarantee that this will work :)

That very much did work. Wrote a small snippet of ugly code to generate an ugly list of dashboards to place on the home dashboard. My users found it useful.
