Get Properties or Property Values
The default app package that you download from the App Editor includes a basic example of retrieving the value of an app property and rendering this in the app.

Hello World defines the property in its App Specification and a default value for the property:
The Sample.HelloWorld class uses the getPropertyValue(name) method in the MashZone NextGen App API to retrieve the property’s value and render this in the app:
Sample.Hello = function( app ) {
jQuery( app.rootElement ).find( '.helloString' ).html(
app.getPropertyValue( 'helloString' )
);
};
There are several other methods you can use in custom apps to retrieve or manipulate properties, such as getProperty(name) or getPropertyNames(). See the MashZone NextGen API Reference for details.
