[Platform SDK] - How to retrieve UI values in the backend of the tool ?

[Jean-Balteryx]

Hi everyone !

I built the backend and the UI for my tool and now I want them to communicate, retrieving the values set by the user in the UI, in the python backend.

How is it done ? I found that React Comms should be used but I don't get how it is used in the backend.

Do you have any idea ?

Thank you for your help !

@IraWatt, have you worked on that ?

@Jean-Balteryx I am currently just connecting the UI SDK with the Interface Tools. I have also been wanting to find out how to connect React to the Python backend I'll have a go later on today see if I have any luck 😅.

@IraWatt, I got the answer from @jarrod !

In hte backend, you can retrieve your configuration values using the following line :

self.provider.tool_config[key]

key being the name of your React element.
