I would like to able to access Variables from SharpTools in a Custom Tile.
I have a custom tile which cycles through weather info from various cities. I would like the user to be able to select from a list of available cities without having to go through the Tile Editor to select from the list. Each city could be assigned a variable but currently it appears we’re currently unable to retrieve a variable value in a custom tile.
Can you share more details about the use-case with weather info and custom tiles? I’m trying to understand why some other browser-based storage mechanism couldn’t be used.
Is the goal to be able to communicate selections across custom tiles? For example, could the localStorage API work?
+1. The use case I have is to be able to sidestep the inability to make API calls from a custom tile. If I can make an API call from a first-party Rule, then set a variable in the rule, and then access that variable from my custom tile, it would greatly expand the functionality of custom tiles.
