  $scope.params = $stateParams;
  $scope.test123 = $twigkit.getConstant('test','No 123 Found Here');
  $rootScope.test = $twigkit.getConstant('test','');
  }]);

stringReturns the constant value.

​
Example

$twigkit.getConstant(defaultValue);

Parameters

ParamTypeDetails
querystringThe query to use against the platform.
platformstringThe name of the platform to use.
source-fieldstringName of a primary field to facet on (for example “Country”). The values of this facet will define the set of graph nodes with outgoing edges.
target-fieldstringName of a secondary field to facet on (for example “City”), for every facet value of the primary field. The values of this facet will define the set of graph nodes with incoming edges. For example, say the primary facet (source-field) has values for Country=Germany and Country=France and the secondary facet (target-field) has values for City=Berlin, City=Munich and City=Paris. Then we add graph edges Germany—>Berlin, Germany—>Munich and France—>Paris.
measure (optional)stringName of a numerical measure that defines the weight of each graph edge. When omitted, this defaults to the counts of the facets defined by the target-field. Some possible measures include “sum”, “mean” and “min”. (Only applicable if not using data attribute).
